Inquiry
Will you clarify whether wood forms for pouring concrete must be counted in the calculations for MR Cr 7 - Certified Wood? Page 233 of the 2.1 Reference Manual indicates that the credit must consider "form ply and bracing, etc"; however, page 234 indicates that the credit can "exclude salvaged and refurbished materials". When wood forms are used on multiple projects, they serve as tools and equipment rather than materials. If a concrete contractor verifies that their forms have been and will be used on other projects, do wood forms in fact need to be included in the calculations for this credit? Likewise, must the forms be included in the calculations for MR cr 2 - Construction Waste Management?
