When I generate a Statement of Energy Performance for a non-rateable building, the SEP tells me that my building uses 23% less energy per square foot than the national median. 2 points, yay!

MRc5 question:

EBOM-2009 MRp1:Sustainable purchasing policy
posted by  Heather Holdridge  on 

Does MRc5 count as an alternative to MRc2-4 or not? It seems like it does, however in the MRp1 policy document template it says it doesn't. Could someone please clarify? Thanks!

My understanding is that the Owner must place her/his initials in the Signatory box for credits such as this one (No Smoking).
