For the purposes of reporting the data required for this credit, a reporting institution must document the waste diverted from the landfill or incinerator for all "major construction and/or demolition" projects. What is considered to be "major"? For the University of Saskatchewan, the provincial legislation under which we are governed defines a major project as one with a value greater than $500,000. How have other institutions considered "major" when reporting for this credit?
