Hi,
Our project includes seismic isolation system, because the project building is located in earthquake prone country.
Our question is which construction division does "seismic isolation system" belong? Can it be categorized as equipment? And can we exclude it from the calculation? Any comment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

NC Credits MRc3 through MRc7 all evaluate materials classified by Construction Specification Institute (CSI) MasterFormat under Divisions 03 through 10 and parts of Divisions 31 & 32.
However, CSI classifies “Sound, Vibration, and Seismic Control” Systems in Division 13 “Special Construction.” Therefore, you should exclude these materials.
[Project teams outside North America may not be familiar with CSI MasterFormat. It is a standard for organizing construction specifications, costs, and related data. A free outline of the current version is available at this link: http://csinet.org/numbersandtitles .]
