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?

We are procuring noggings that are FSC certified. The vendor doesn't have chain of custody certification. However, can we comply with this credit if we get the noggings delivered straight to site? We are using the LEED v3 CI. Thanks

Make arrangements with your vendor so that the invoice you receive for the noggings shows the FSC claim. This means the producer of the FSC noggings should invoice you directly for the material. Your vendor will act as the middle man between you (the end user) and the FSC producer and will receive his share of the commission from the producer after the invoice is paid. Because you are the end user in this scenario you can have the material delivered wherever you choose. Hope this makes sense! Have a great day!
