When reusing an existing building (major renovation) then only new flooring materials would be applicable for the credit? Consequently, the credit does not apply to the flooring areas (materials) which are kept in place. Is that correct? Thank you in advance.

Yes, correct - as long as your do not repair and/or refinish; then any materials used, such as stain or polyurethane would be required to meet the standards.

Thanks John-David! That said, we disregard all existing flooring materials and we only focus on the flooring materials which are renovated.
