Hello everyone,
I am working on the project in Russia and I would like to pursue this credit by permanent installing of a FSC-certified street bench within the project boundary. I am not sure, is a bench classified to furniture or not? It is important to define, because all the rest project furniture products have not FSC, but they have PFEC, which is not counted by LEED requires, and it is difficult to find the FSC products in my country. If a bench classified to furniture, should I include all the furniture in the calculation?

I would consider a permanently installed bench part of Div 32, Exterior Improvements, and therefore covered under the MR credits without including other (Div 12) furniture.
