We have had a wood submittal that has a several green certifications including NGBS Green Certification, SCS EPP Certification, and UL Greenguard Gold Certifications. Do any of these count towards any LEED credits? Can the SCS Environmentally Preferable Treated Wood Process (based on Life-Cycle Assessment) count towards this credit since SCS is the also the one who has the FSC certification? It sounds as if this certification goes above and beyond the FSC Certification.

I can't speak definitively to what other credits these certifications might count toward, although I believe that Greenguard counts toward one of the IAQ credits in LEEDv4.
SCS's Environmentally Preferable Treated Wood Process definitely does not count toward MRc7, although if this is an ISO-compliant EPD, then it could qualify for the relevant credit under LEEDv4 that rewards products that carry the same.
