FAQs about MRc6 :

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?

CS-2009 MRc6:Certified Wood

COC Invoice for LEED Core & Shell v2.0 - MRc6

Hi ! I need some help on FSC documentation. Our project is registered under the LEED Core & Shell v2.0 rating system. We have some wood products installed on site ( balustrades, timber paneling, toilet cubicles,and doors.) We have subcontractors who have their respective COC certificates. My question is, who should provide the invoice with the COC number? should it be the subcontractor who modified the wood product prior to site installation, (ex. solid wood boards to wooden balustrades), or the supplier who sold the raw materials to the subcontractor? ( ex. solid wood board,not the final product form which is the balustrade? ) I'm facing the same case with the doors. Should I submit the invoice w/ COC number of the raw materials of the door ( wooden stiles, rails, mdf core, veneer facing, etc. ) , or should I submit the invoice for the door itself that was assembled and manufactured by the subcontractor? Thanks for any clarification that anyone can provide...

You should only be required to submit invoices from the last end of the chain of custody, your subcontractors. The idea of the chain of custody system is that every organization with a CoC is audited annually to ensure that their FSC inputs match their FSC outputs. That way you don't need to track down certificates all the way to the mill.
