I just got review comments back that refer to this LI. My documentation was completed prior to the LI, but the project wasn't submitted until after the LI was written.
I know addenda are applied based on the registration date of the project, but I believe LIs apply regardless of their date, right?

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?

I don't know how this works, but I too would like to know the answer, so I hope that Doug, Tristan or somebody who does know will weigh in!

Tiffany, you don't give the details of your situation, so I'll speak generally.LEED Interpretations are applicable based on registration date, except when projects choose to apply them in cases where they are not required. However, LIs often offer a clarification of an ambiguous area of LEED, and if you were relying on a certain lower-case interpretation of an ambiguous area, and USGBC came out with an LI clarifying its interpretation, you would be bound by their LI, even if it's at a later date. The idea is that they are just clarifying the intent of the LEED language, not imposing a new requirement.Again, this is a general perspective that may or may not apply fully to your situation, so please feel free to share more.
