Hi all,
We are designing a mass timber building and are closing in on selecting our mass timber supplier. One supplier is offering FSC wood and the other is offering PEFC. I don't know enough about PEFC to make a clear recommendation to the client about how it compares to FSC. I understand that PEFC endorsed SFI, so that concerns me. This project is also pursuing LEED certification, but it seems that with the legal wood pilot credit, we won't see a big point difference for PEFC vs. FSC. My interpretation is that the documentation and data collection will likely be more complicated for PEFC though.
I appreciate any insights you all could share on this so we can guide the client in the right direction. Thanks!
