FTE – Full Time Equivalent Occupancy
APPLICABLE TO ALL RATING SYSTEMS
Annual FTE is based on the average 40 hour work week, assuming 48 total work
weeks in the year. FTE is defined as one person spending eight hours a day for
240 days in the building, or 1920 hours annually. The calculation can be
Averaged by FTE occupants per day, week, or month.
Full time Occupant = 8 hr occupant has an FTE value of 1.0
Part-Time Occupant=FTE value based on hours/day divided by 8
Equation:
FTE Staff Occupants = Total Staff Occupant Hours
8

LEED Green Associate Exam Training Workbook

FTE – Full Time Equivalent Occupancy
* FTE must be consistent throughout the project
EXAMPLE:
A large company has 388 full time employees with 30 part time occupants that
are considered as either temps or hotel employees. They operate around 250
days a year.
FTE= (388 full time x 8 hrs) + (30 part time x 4 hrs)/8
So, essentially, the 30 part time/hoteling employees become a part of the FTE
count (calculation) and is not in addition to, or subtraction from the actual
number of full time employees.

The FTE is 403.

MRc4 – Materials and Resources - Recycled Content
Pre Consumer – Preconsumer material is defined as material diverted from the

waste stream during the manufacturing process. Reutilization of materials (i.e., rework,
regrind or scrap generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same
process that generated it) is excluded.

Post Consumer – Postconsumer material is defined as waste material generated

by households or by commercial, industrial and institutional facilities in their role as
end-users of the product, which can no longer be used for its intended purpose

RECYCLED CONTENT VALUE =
(% Post consumer Recycled Content x Materials Cost) + .5 x (% Preconsumer x

MRc4 – Recycled Content – Concrete Mix Design
Activity: Using the Sample Concrete Mix Design given below,
determine the $ amount of recycled content that may be applied to
this credit.
The cement contains 35% Fly ash and 15% slag by weight.
Material

Weight (lbs)

Cement

2,000

Sand

3,500

Crushed Stone

Water

800

TOTAL

10,000

Assume these are the only recycled materials in the entire
concrete mix.
Note: Fly ash and slag are industrial by-products that are often
used in Portland cement. Fly ash is a by-product of the
combustion of pulverized coal in electric power generating
plants. Slag cement also called ground granulated blast
furnace slag, is made from iron blast furnace slag. These types
of industrial by-products are considered post-industrial (or preconsumer) recycled materials.

Part A: Assume the cost of the concrete is $100,000. What is the dollar value of the
recycled content materials that may be applied to this credit.
Recycled Content Value ($)= (% Post Consumer x Materials Cost) x .5 (% Preconsumer x Materials Cost)

Part B: Assume we were able to determine that the cost of the cement constituted 60% of
the total cost of the concrete. What would the dollar value of recycled content materials
that may be applied to this credit using this new information.
