Hi there. I am working on a CS-2009 project. My question is: are the pantry-cabinets (fixed items) within the scope of this credit, or are they considered FF&E and therefore excluded? Thank you guys in advance for your advice!

What building components are typically purchased with FSC content to earn this credit?
Does FSC-certified wood automatically contribute to IEQc4.4 as a low-emitting material?
Does FSC-certified bamboo products count towards this credit?
Should wood used on site features such as benches or a gazebo be included here?
Is there a minimum quantity of wood that must be used on the project to qualify for this credit?

Hello Edwin - Cabinets are included in the scope of the certified wood credit, see below:
"These components include at a minimum, structural framing and general dimensional framing, flooring, sub-flooring, wood doors and finishes.
Include only materials permanently installed in the project. Wood products purchased for temporary use on the project (e.g., formwork, bracing, scaffolding, sidewalk protection, and guard rails) may be included in the calculation at the project team’s discretion. If any such materials are included, all such materials must be included in the calculation. If such materials are purchased for use on multiple projects, the applicant may include these materials for only one project, at its discretion. Furniture may be included if it is included consistently in MR Credits 3. Materials Reuse, through MR Credit 7: Certified Wood."
