What about furniture?

Nena,I believe that would count. Does anyone have experience with this?

You can count the furniture for this if you are using furniture in your calcs across the MR credits. The threshold can be difficult to reach with furniture alone so hopefully you have other products that will allow you to get there.

We are using furniture from the previous project and will include it in the new built project. I understand that we can include this in MRc3 at the value of new furniture.
The furniture is made of wood however which is not FSC certified. Would we need to include this wood in the Certified Wood Calculations? (which will penalize us for using non-certified wood)

Emmanuel, MRc7 only covers "new" wood, which this would not be, as it is reused. So, no penalty.

We are also reusing a large amount of furniture - moving it from an existing facility to a new building in the same city and looking to apply it to this credit. I was rereading the MR overview section in the resource guide and came across the following statement, "Materials calculated toward materials reuse cannot be applied to MR credits for building reuse, construction waste management, recycled content, rapidly renewable materials, or certified wood". I was wondering if other have interpreted this to mean that if I include furniture in MRc3 I would not use the furniture to contribute to credits MRc4-7, but I would represent the total cost of our furniture in our total material costs number for all of the MR credits? Does this seem correct or have there been other interpretations?

The furniture costs would need to be include in the overall materials cost, so be sure to carefully evaluate if including furniture is of benefit or not. You can count the reused furniture toward MRc5 so long as it is within the proper distance.
