Section 2: Individual LEED Credit Reviews
The certified wood credit becomes more
complicated when it is pursued in conjunction with
Credit EQ 4.4 (Low Emitting Materials, Composite
Wood). The issues are reviewed in more detail as
part of the "synergistic credit" write-ups of
Section 3.
Synergistic Credits
Item SN-4 (Courthouse) reviews the cost
implications of earning Credit MR-7 in conjunction
with Credit EQ-4.4 (Low-Emitting Materials,
Composite Wood). Item SN-5 (Courthouse)
reviews the cost implications of earning Credit
MR-7 in conjunction with Credit EQ-4.4 (Low-
Emitting Materials, Composite Wood) and Credit
ID-1.4B (Exceed Certified Wood Criteria, 75
percent).
Item SN-3 (Office Building) reviews the cost
implications of earning Credit MR-7 in conjunction
with Credit EQ-4.4 (Low-Emitting Materials,
Composite Wood). Item SN-5 (Office Building)
reviews the cost implications of earning Credit
MR-7 in conjunction with Credit EQ-4.4 (Low-
Emitting Materials, Composite Wood) and Credit
ID-1.4B (Exceed Certified Wood Criteria, 75
percent).

achieve this credit in the Courthouse scenarios.
LEED calculations demonstrate that the 50
percent threshold is attained.
