Healthcare-v4 MRc7:Furniture and medical furnishings

Re-used Furniture Eligible for Local Multiplier?

Hello,

We're working on a LEED v4 Healthcare project that is pursuing the Furniture credit and I'm wondering if re-used furniture would be eligible for the local multiplier of 200% its value?

My initial reaction is that it would. The project is an addition to an existing hospital and while we will be procuring the majority of furniture we're going to be reusing a substantial amount as well. Since that reused furniture is coming from the hospital would it not be considered locally sourced?

Ultimately I'm aware that the July v4.1 states locally sourced furniture is valued at 200% so we could just upgrade the credit but I was curious if my assumption would be valid for v4 as well.
