Where does carpet fit in? Carpet isn't listed, but is certainly can be a durable good. I'm wokring on an NCv2.2 project and considering using this credit as a basis for an ID credit. We are looking into carpet that is NSF 140 Platinum certified & SCS certified.

Have you looked at MRc3: Sustainable Purchasing—Facility Alterations and Additions? Seems like carpet is a more natural fit there, although I supposed one could argue that it's similar to furniture, a durable good, in some respects.

I have an EBOM project review report from GBC indicating that carpet is considered a base-building item. Therefore, it cannot be included in this credit table.
