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?

In an industrial project the GC uses a sub for all his interior wall partitions in the office building. This sub wants to use certified doors frames and slabs. Does he need a FSC-certificate for his company or is the door traders FSC-certificate on the invoice good enough to earn MRc7? Thanks

The sub does not need FSC CoC certification to use certified doors on the project -- the door trader's CoC suffices. The only project subs who need FSC CoC certification for MRc7 are those who modify wood products off the job site -- e.g. architectural woodworkers.
