Section 2: Individual LEED Credit Reviews
Additional Considerations
For LEED calculation purposes, post-consumer
recycled-content wood material, as found in some
composite wood products, can be deducted from
the total wood calculation for the building.
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-5 (Courthouse) reviews the cost
implications of earning Credit ID-1.4B in
conjunction with Credit MR-7 (Certified Wood)
and Credit EQ-4.4 (Low-Emitting Materials,
Composite Wood).
Item SN-5 (Office Building) reviews the cost
implications of earning Credit ID-1.4B in
conjunction with Credit MR-7 (Certified Wood)
and Credit EQ-4.4 (Low-Emitting Materials,
Composite Wood).
Supporting Calculations
Table ID-1 identifies the wood products used to
achieve this credit in the Courthouse scenarios.
LEED calculations demonstrate that the 75
percent threshold is attained.
Table ID-2 identifies the wood products used to
achieve this credit in the Office Building scenarios.
LEED calculations demonstrate that the 75
percent threshold is attained.
