I would like to clarify what should be included in the calculations for this credit. Should we include things like carpet, window blinds, trash cans, desk accessories like stapler and many more, accessories for the bathroom or bicycle racks? These kinds of items are included in the Division 12 list and it seems to be very detailed.

In a LEED CI project you include the furniture and furnishings only. The LEED ID+C reference guide (pg 241) states that you can exclude furnishings components, artwork, plants and musical instruments. I assume accessories can be excluded. The focus should be furniture, casework, window treatments, panels and dividers, furniture systems, floor mats and frames, chairs. Hope that helps. Carpet is Div 9, yes it is included.
