What building components are typically purchased with FSC content to earn this credit?
Does FSC-certified wood automatically contribute to IEQc4.4 as a low-emitting material?
Does FSC-certified bamboo products count towards this credit?
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?

Hi Fabiana - When you say two types of wood - do you mean wood from two vendors?
In our opinion, the CoC# and certificate from each Vendor, along with receipts that include the vendors name, address, etc. with line-item material descriptions that include the term 'FSC' would be prudent (or something similar).

Also Fabiana - The invoices should include the CoC number - below is language from the FSC US Website regarding a 2008 interpretation:
"Each vendor invoice must conform to the following requirements (except as noted in the Appendix under ‘Exceptions’):
1.Each wood product must be identified on a line-item basis;
2.FSC-certified products must be identified as such on a line-item basis;
3.The $ value of each line item must be shown;
4.The vendor’s chain-of-custody (CoC) certificate number must be shown on any invoice that includes FSC products."
