Furniture Cost

On Tab A of the LEED IDC Material and Resource Calculator spreadsheet, you must include the total, actual cost of all furniture purchased as part of your LEED-CI project. On Tab B of the spreadsheet, where you enter the costs and other attributes for MRc4, MRc5, and other MR credits, you may choose to omit furniture’s contribution, but you MUST include furniture in the Tab A totals. This is one of the distinctions between LEED-NC & LEED-CI. Furniture is not typically part of a New Construction project, so LEED makes including it optional. By contrast, furniture typically comprises a major part of Commercial Interiors project, so furniture is a mandatory part of the equation. As a LEEDuser Member, you should have access to the “Checklist” tab at the top of this webpage. There, you will find some great tips on what to include and how to focus your documentation efforts.
