A flooring product consists of a top layer of salvaged pine hardwoods glued to a new
certified wood substrate. The percent of flooring that is certified wood is 40%. What
statement is true about the project calculations for the flooring?
A: The certified wood is calculated as a percentage of the total cost of the building materials
B: The value of the certified wood must include any recycled or salvaged wood
C: The certified wood calculations can only include the wood substrate
D: The certified wood calculations can include all of the flooring

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:
The calculations for certified wood can include only new wood products. Recycled and/or
salvaged wood is not included in the calculations. The formula is thus:
FSC-certified Wood Material Value ($) / Total New Wood Material Value ($)
= Certified Wood Material Percentage
Even though the flooring for this project is 40% certified wood, the wood still contributes to
Materials and Resources Credit, Certified Wood. The credit requirements state that a
minimum of 50% of the total new wood-based materials must be certified. Individual
components may have a smaller or greater percentage, but all of the new wood still
contributes to the overall percentage.
