FAQs about MRc6 :

We are using a lot of reclaimed wood. Should we include this in our MRc7 calculations? What about wood that is already installed on the project, in a renovation? What about wood products with recycled content?

Does FSC-certified bamboo products count towards this credit?

A product has FSC-certified veneer, but a non-certified core. Can we prorate the MRc7 contribution of this product based on the cost of the veneer?

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?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 from LEED-CI as an ID credit. Are we then required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What building components are typically purchased with FSC content to earn this credit?

We’re having trouble getting FSC wood within our budget. Can we use products with another forestry certification?

Do I need to provide invoices for all of the new wood products purchased for the project, or just FSC wood products?

I have supporting manufacturer documentation for the FSC wood used on our project. Is this enough to document this credit, or do I need invoices as well?

Can products labeled “FSC Recycled” or “FSC Recycled Credit” contribute towards MRc7? What about "FSC Mix" percentages that refer to recycled content?

Does FSC-certified wood automatically contribute to IEQc4.4 as a low-emitting material?

Dear "LEED" -ers , I am working on a C&S project that has a large retail area. Are the following fit-out items of the retail boutiques to be included : - fixed shelving units for selling shoes or bags ? - counter-tops / check-out desks and cashiers desks? - rolling / movable product display case work or shelves for selling food products ? Does the fact that retail boutiques completely change their interior design every 5 years change the scope of this credit? Thank-you,

Congratulations, Ian! You have provided the most perfect description of FF&E (Furnishing, Fixtures, & Equipment), which is usually excluded from BD+C MR Credit calculations. See LEED Interpretation #10294: http://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations?keys=10294 Due to their short service life, FF&E items are often purchased and financed separately from permanent building elements, often paid for by the tenants rather than the building owner. These items might count more appropriately toward a Commercial Interiors Certification of the tenant fit-out.
