Christi, there is definitely potential for that. I would look at LEED-EBOM credits (see that portion of this website) as a model, and use the ongoing consumables credit, for example, as your ID credit.

Tristan, we are considering implementing the Sustainable Purchasing - Durable Goods - Furniture credit from EBOM. We definitely meet the criteria for the credit on the basis of the recycled content of the furniture, however I'm concerned that there might be a conflict if we also pursue MRc4 (Recycled content) for the project as a whole. Is this going to be an "either/or" situation or do you think we can pursue both credits?

Michael, I would assume that if you are capturing credit for recycled content in MRc4, you cannot use that same recycled content for credit in IDc1. If you wanted to pursue both credits I think you would have a better shot if you only counted the recycled content for one of them.
