CI-2009 MRc3.2:Materials Reuse—Furniture and Furnishings

Furniture - Reuse as ID Credit

I am attempting to apply the principles of this credit as an ID credit for a Leed for Schools 2007 project. Most of the furniture in this renovated school is being reused, with the exception of new furniture for the library addition. Will this apply? Since I have to include all of the furniture and furnishings materials cost to demonstrate compliance with the possible ID credit, do I have then I have to include furniture and furnishings into my calculations for MRc3-7 for LEED for Schools 2007? Or can these be separated because it's being applied to an ID credit?

Hi Rebecca,Yes, you can use this credit as an ID credit. Though I'm not sure if you will be required to include furniture in your other MR credits.

Rebecca, I believe I have heard from other projects that they did have to include furniture in the other MR credits in this situation.
