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?

CI-2009 MRc7:Certified Wood

Products with Recycled Content

Ok, from what I am gathering, wood products with both recycled content and FSC mixed cannot count for both MR4 and MR7, correct? So if I choose to count these products under MR4, how do I address these products in MR7? Which way do I approach it? A) Don't count them in MR7 at all - input 0% for new wood, therefore not counting the products in the MR7 calcs at all. OR B) Acknowledge that they have some new wood (whatever percentage that may be) and input 0% under under new wood that is FSC certified, essentially lowering my percentage for MR7.
