We recently received a review back stating that the reclaimed wood materials that were used to fabricate bartops, host stand top, banquette tops and banquette seating in our restaurant project does not meet the definition of reused, salvaged or refurbished materials. The reviewer stated that these materials should be accounted for in the MR 4 credit, because they qualify as recycled content. We were all extremely surprised by this review comment. This seems clearly wrong to me. Any advice? (I should add that this project is registered under CI v2.0.)

Marian, this review comment definitely seems out of line with how we've understood MRc3 and MRc4.I would email GBCI requesting clarification. Let us know how it goes!
