I was under the impression that millwork and white boards were not included in this credit because they're not "base building materials." I just got a LEED review back stating that they are included. Where did I go wrong?

Maura, Unfortunately I don't know. I could see someone saying that the millwork might be part of the base building material as it can be seen as permanent, but a white board is a fit out/fixture. The language specifically exempts fixtures.

Maura - Millwork (fabricated in a mill and installed in a building) is definitely part of a base building: window casings, doors, baseboard and trim, etc. I've not included white board in the two school projects I've done. My suggestion is to shoot a clarification question to your review team and asking them to explain their comment a little more specifically. Please let us know what they say, as this might be a new twist!

It looks like you'll have to start including them. The review team says this: "According to the rating system, IEQc4 applies to all products used on the interior of the building, therefore, the white boards must comply with the credit requirements if they are going to be inside the building."
