Again, the terminology must be accurate - there is NO LEED prohibition on formaldehyde being present or emitting. And all phone or other backer boards going into commercial construction must be non-combustible. Any plywood or mdf or other composite wood product that will be fire treated can be NAUF if it is specified that way.

Another detail to note is that phenol formaldehyde is an excellent and common alternative to urea formaldehyde and should be accepted for specifying.
