FAQs about MRc7 :

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 from LEED-CI as an ID credit. Are we then required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What building components are typically purchased with FSC content to earn this credit?

We’re having trouble getting FSC wood within our budget. Can we use products with another forestry certification?

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?

Can products labeled “FSC Recycled” or “FSC Recycled Credit” contribute towards MRc7? What about "FSC Mix" percentages that refer to recycled content?

Does FSC-certified wood automatically contribute to IEQc4.4 as a low-emitting material?

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?

Should wood used on site features such as benches or a gazebo be included here?

Is there a minimum quantity of wood that must be used on the project to qualify for this credit?

If you have submitted a questions using the message system for your project on LEED online to the reviewing committee, how long should you expect it to take to get an answer. I submitted on on 7/19 and still have not gotten a response.

Caro, I believe they aim for 30 days, or something like that. The policy is on the GBCI website. Sometimes they get behind....

Don't, don't, don't send a message through LEED Online v3!!! We were told that the Messages Tab was designed for internal team communications only and so the system doesn't alert the review team that there is any messages waiting for them. So it's very hit-or-miss when you could expect an answer. Similiarly, the "Feedback" button within LOv3 is tied to the IT Team and is only designed to collect technical, system issues (glitching forms, etc). The "right" way to send a question/request through to GBCI is via the GBCI Contact Us Form (http://www.gbci.org/org-nav/contact/Contact-Us/Project-Certification-Questions.aspx). Messages sent in there are sent directly to GBCI review staff to look into. My experience has been that responses are much faster when submitted that way. The important thing to note is that: the more detailed your question, the more detailed your response will be (i.e. including specific project number, credit/rating system, details/descriptions, etc.).
