Inquiry

CIR MR credit 7 Certified Wood: Similar to the CIR on this credit dated 6.3.02, we would like to know if it is reasonable to exclude reclaimed wood products from the caluculations for new wood in the certified wood credit? Reclaimed wood seems outside the scope of certified wood. We believe that it is in fact the better decision for wood selection, especially for interior and exterior finishes. However, we still often buy new wood for framing that we specify certified. We propose that reclaimed wood (by %) be excluded under the certified wood calculation, since it is best captured under the Resource Reuse credt.
