Hello!
Our client, (the project owner) has a branch office from another country wherein there are bulk of furniture which were transported 3 years ago to our recently registered LEED project. These furniture were refurbished and reused and are currently being utilized in our project. Could these furniture qualifies for an offsite salvaged materials? How do we document them to demonstrate compliance in MRc2.2-Durable Goods (Furniture)?
Thanks in advance!

Mary Ann, yes, this kind of thing qualifies. See the LEED Online form for how to document.

Thank you for your reply Tristan. But I would like to clarify, since the salvaged furniture were delivered to our project 3 years ago, I'm thinking about the performance period qualification. The requirement is to purchase goods during the performance period, right? In our case, furniture which we claimed offsite salvaged materials were in place prior to the LEED project registration. Though, it make sense these materials may qualify. The only questionable is the timing. Your thoughts again, please. Thanks a lot.

Hi Mary Ann, the maximum performance period length is 2 years, so you're right that furniture salvaged over 2 years ago can't be included.
