Which of the following materials on the documentation contribute towards the credit?

A. Excavated soil

B. Wood derived fuel

C. Items sent to the local incinerator

D. Alternate Daily Cover

Answer: B

Explanation:

This option requires the project to classify wood derived fuel as a recycled material that contributes towards the credit, because it is a waste material that is converted into a useful energy source1. Wood derived fuel can be used for heating, electricity generation, or co-firing with other fuels2. According to the LEED v4: Building Design + Construction Guide, recycled materials are those that have been reprocessed or remanufactured from recovered materials3.
