MR Credit 7
MR Credit 7: Certified Wood
1 Point

Intent
Encourage environmentally responsible forest management.

Requirements
Use a minimum of 50% of wood-based materials and products, which are certified in accordance with the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) Principles and Criteria, for wood building components. These components include, but are not limited to, structural framing and general dimensional framing, flooring, sub-flooring, wood doors and finishes.

Only include materials permanently installed in the project. Furniture may be included, providing it is included consistently in MR Credits 3–7.

Potential Technologies & Strategies
Establish a project goal for FSC-certified wood products and identify suppliers that can achieve this goal. During construction, ensure that the FSC-certified wood products are installed and quantify the total percentage of FSC-certified wood products installed.
