FAQs about MRc7 :

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

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?

NC-2009 MRc7:Certified Wood

Non-FSC Invoices

The FAQ on LEED User for this credit says that the non-FSC invoices need to be compiled but not submitted and references the April 2008 Memo. I reviewed the memo and it definitely says ALL timber invoices need to be compiled. But it does not say anything about submitting or not submitting? Additionally, the v4.0 version of the MRc7 LEED Online form asks for "Percentage of MRc7 materials with vendor invoices provided (by cost). Must be 100% to document credit compliance." And in the upload section it asks to "Provide vendor invoices for all new wood products on a line item basis." This seems to contradict the LEED User FAQ - i.e. it looks to me that we do need to submit the invoices for the non-FSC rated timber. Could you please clarify. Regards, Phil

I thought all invoices needed to be compiled and submitted, but Tristan may know better if he is tracking.

Hi Tristan - Can you please comment on the LEED User FAQ. It appears the LEED Online Form requires us to upload all the invoices but the LEED User FAQ says that we only need to provide the certified timber invoices.
