FSC certified wood for furniture manufacturing

The furniture subcontractor also needs to have FSC CoC.

If you so choose, you may omit all furniture from the calculation of material costs and percentages of reused materials, recycled content, regional materials, rapidly renewable materials, and certified wood. Materials and Resources Credits 3 through 7 apply to “permanently installed materials”. LEED gives you the choice whether to include furniture or not. If your furniture cannot qualify for this credit, LEED permits you to omit all furniture from the calculation. However, if you omit furniture from one Credit, you must omit furniture from all Materials and Resources calculations.

Does this also apply to permanently installed furniture? That is, furniture that will be fixed to the walls. I cannot find a millwork shop that has a CoC number in my area. Thank you.

This is a gray area. See LEED Interpretation LI# 10294, dated October 1, 2013. This LI explains the distinction between "Furniture" and "Permanently Installed Building Products." For you, the important question may be whether the fixed furniture on you project is being purchased as part of the “Base Building’ or, separately, as “Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment” (FF&E). FF&E Scope often varies from project to project. It is often budgeted, bid, purchased, & financed separately from the base building. This usually occurs for accounting purposes because FF&E are often valued, taxed, & depreciated differently from real property (the base building). Typically, FF&E are movable furniture, fixtures, or other equipment that have no permanent connection to the structure of a building or utilities. If the fixed items were specified under Construction Specification Institute MasterFormat™ Division 06 Sections on Finish Carpentry or Architectural Woodwork, they are part of the base building, and you must include them in MRc7. If these items were specified in Division 12, Furniture & Furnishings, you have the option to include or exclude them, as long as you do so consistently for Credits MRc3 through MRc7. If your project did not use CSI MasterFormat, another LEED Interpretation, LI# 10287, advises Project Teams using Specification formats other than CSI-MasterFormat-2004 to verify that the Spec divisions used for LEED correlate to those in MasterFormat-2004.
