We would like to pursue this credit, as our hospital floor renovation project registered under LEED CI v 2.0 is reusing all patient beds. However, there is a concern that patient beds may not qualify as furniture and could be considered as Medical Equipment. The CSI Masterformat Division 12 lists Healthcare Furniture as one of the items but does not specifically mention patient beds. We believe that the approach meets the 'resource reuse' intent of the credit - please let me know if any of you have came across a similar situation or have attempted the credit similarly.

We included re-used exam room tables in a medical office building T.I. and the documentation was accepted. These are somewhat similar to hospital beds.
