Water Efficiency (WE); 4. Energy and Atmosphere (EA); 5. Materials and Resources (MR); and 6. Indoor Environmental

Quality (EQ). Each category has been assigned points, so that the sum total of points in all six categories is 99. The number of points assigned to a category gives its relative importance to sustainability of the building. The MR category deals with the impact of materials used in the building on the environment. How many points are assigned to this category?
