I have been informed by a General Contractor who has a lot of LEED construction experience that substrates such as MDF, particle board, and OSB are not categorized as "new wood" products since they contain only recycled wood materials. What is the definition of "New Wood"---does it only apply to veneers, solid woods, plywoods, etc. that use non scrap type wood materials? Or has this GC been misinformed?
