I'm seeking clarification on how this credit applies to an interior renovation where the existing tenant maintains 100% of its existing furniture. After reviewing the reference guide, it would seem that a point would be awarded and that this would not be violating the intent nor requirements. Anyone successfully submitted this approach in the past?

You can definitely apply the reused furniture toward this credit and if all of the furniture is reused then you would also be able to earn an exemplary performance point (60% or more). If you're reusing within the 500 miles radius the furniture would also apply to MRc5. Hope that's helpful.

OK, now I am completely confused - the graphic at the top (of this page) specifically says that furniture salvaged and reused in the same location for the same purpose cannot be used for 3.2 but must be applied to 1.2. If we're renovating a space, and we want to reuse some of the furniture (hopefully 30%) in place, that meets the intent here without changing the purpose, right? Help!
