A4.405.3.1.4 Determination of Recycled Content Value of Assemblies — (RCVA)

Los Angeles Green Building Code > A4 Residential Voluntary Measures > A4.405 Material Sources > A4.405.3 Recycled Content > A4.405.3.1 Recycled Content > A4.405.3.1.4 Determination of Recycled Content Value of Assemblies — (RCVA)
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

Recycled content value of assemblies is calculated by multiplying the total cost of the assembly by the total recycled content of the assembly (RCA), and shall be determined by Equation A4.4-8.

(Equation A4.4-8)

If not provided by the manufacturer, Total RCA (percent) is the sum (Σ) of the Proportional Recycled Content (PRCM) of each material in the assembly. RCA shall be determined by Equation A4.4-9.

(Equation A4.4-9)

PRCM of each material may be calculated by one of two methods using the following formulas:

Method 1: Recycled content (postconsumer and preconsumer) of each material provided in percentages

(Equation A4.4-10)

(Equation A4.4-11)

(Equation A4.4-7)

Method 2: Recycled content (postconsumer and preconsumer) provided in pounds

(Equation A4.4-12)

(Equation A4.4-13)

Note: If the manufacturer reports total recycled content of a material as one percentage in lieu of separately reporting preconsumer and postconsumer values, the total shall be considered preconsumer recycled material.
