Would fixed auditorium seating be included in the MR credits, or considered furniture? Same for a demountable wall system?

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?

Yes, MasterFormat lists auditorium seating under Division 12 Furnishings in category 12 60 00: Multiple Seating, or more specifically 12 61 00 Fixed Audience Seating. The demountable wall system would not be listed under Furnishings, however. Most likely it would fall under 10 20 00 Interior Specialties, or more specifically 10 22 19 Demountable Partitions. Of course, you could get more specific (metal, wood, plastic, composite, or gypsum). Hope this helps.

Thanks, Brent. So Carrie, as you may know, Division 12 is generally excluded from MR credits for LEED BD&C, although it may be included if it's done consistently.
