FAQs about MRc7 :

We are using a lot of reclaimed wood. Should we include this in our MRc7 calculations? What about wood that is already installed on the project, in a renovation? What about wood products with recycled content?

Does FSC-certified bamboo products count towards this credit?

A product has FSC-certified veneer, but a non-certified core. Can we prorate the MRc7 contribution of this product based on the cost of the veneer?

Should wood used on site features such as benches or a gazebo be included here?

Is there a minimum quantity of wood that must be used on the project to qualify for this credit?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 from LEED-CI as an ID credit. Are we then required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What building components are typically purchased with FSC content to earn this credit?

We’re having trouble getting FSC wood within our budget. Can we use products with another forestry certification?

Do I need to provide invoices for all of the new wood products purchased for the project, or just FSC wood products?

I have supporting manufacturer documentation for the FSC wood used on our project. Is this enough to document this credit, or do I need invoices as well?

Can products labeled “FSC Recycled” or “FSC Recycled Credit” contribute towards MRc7? What about "FSC Mix" percentages that refer to recycled content?

Does FSC-certified wood automatically contribute to IEQc4.4 as a low-emitting material?

CI-2009 MRc7:Certified Wood

Can FSC Product Certification replace invoices?

Hello. I'm pursuing this credit on a project in Mexico City. I have mainly two products from new wood: Mohawk engineering floor, from which I have the FSC Certification for the species of wood my floor is made off. The othe rproduct is flooring wood from which I have my vendor invoice and his COC certification but for fiscal reasons, the COC does-not appear on the invoice but it is the same name from which I have the COC certification. We want to get the credit since we have made the right purchasing, but have this paperwork issue. How do you assess the chances to get this credit?

Hi Rodrigo. I didn't get an answer, but happily the Reviewer accepted our arguments, so we earn the credit. Thanks for asking!
