FAQs about MRc7 :

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?

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?

Hi Lee, FSC Mixed Credit products are valued in the credit calculation at 100% of their cost and all of it is considered 'new wood' (assuming it is not an assembly). In the form, a mixed credit product is entered as 100% new wood and 100% FSC certified. However, if the product is labeled FSC Mixed (NN%), then include the product in the form as 100% new wood and NN% FSC certified.
