FAQs about MRc7 :

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?

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?

I just got review comments back that refer to this LI. My documentation was completed prior to the LI, but the project wasn't submitted until after the LI was written. I know addenda are applied based on the registration date of the project, but I believe LIs apply regardless of their date, right?

I don't know how this works, but I too would like to know the answer, so I hope that Doug, Tristan or somebody who does know will weigh in!

Tiffany, you don't give the details of your situation, so I'll speak generally.LEED Interpretations are applicable based on registration date, except when projects choose to apply them in cases where they are not required. However, LIs often offer a clarification of an ambiguous area of LEED, and if you were relying on a certain lower-case interpretation of an ambiguous area, and USGBC came out with an LI clarifying its interpretation, you would be bound by their LI, even if it's at a later date. The idea is that they are just clarifying the intent of the LEED language, not imposing a new requirement.Again, this is a general perspective that may or may not apply fully to your situation, so please feel free to share more.
