A retail project has an overall budget of $6,450,000. The materials cost on the project is $2,902,500. Here is a list of some of the materials the project team has purchased. Based on this list what percentage of material will count towards Materials and Resources Credit, Rapidly Renewable Materials?

Material Cost Weight (lbs)
Bamboo flooring $46,000 ; 1500;
Wool carpeting $30,000 ; 800;
Sunflower seed board Panels $5,000 ; 300;
Certified Wood $50,000 ; 10,000;

A: 1.2%
B: 2.8%
C: 2.0%
D: 4.5%

参考答案: B

本题解释:
First calculate the materials cost:

The bamboo flooring, wool carpeting, sunflower seed board panels all qualify as rapidly renewable. See Materials and Resources Credit, Rapidly Renewable Materials, this calculation is based on cost, not volume.

$46,000 + $30,000 + $5,000 = $81,000

$81,000 / $2,902,500 = 2.8%

Certified wood will not qualify as a rapidly renewable.
