But my understanding of "reusing interior components" is the intent to mitigate diverting into landfill the previous tenancy fit-out debris such as gypsum walls & used floor-boards and since my Client will be the first to occupy this new building (actually still under construction) surely this credit does not apply for this case? My question therefore is - can we count raised flooring & ceiling tiles of a brand new building previously unoccupied? I just wanted to be sure. Can't find anything in the CIR.

I don't think you can count them.
