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?

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?

I have a tradesman telling me that he can only make four deliveries to the jobsite for FSC certified materials in order to be compliant with chain of custody. Is this correct? Does USGBC restrict the amount of FSC deliveries? Sounds funny to me.

That's BS - neither LEED nor FSC CoC place restrictions on the number of deliveries of FSC-certified products to a job site
