Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

In the Materials and Resources (MR) section of LEED, furniture is included in credit calculations, particularly in credits related to sustainable purchasing and waste management. Furniture plays a significant role in the environmental impact of a building's interior due to its material content, durability, and potential for reuse or recycling. Including furniture in MR calculations encourages the selection of sustainable products and practices, such as purchasing reused or recycled furniture, and implementing take-back programs or recycling initiatives at the end of the furniture's life cycle.

Reference: This inclusion is outlined in the LEED AP Operations + Maintenance reference materials, where it details how furniture contributes to various MR credits, emphasizing the importance of sustainable purchasing decisions and waste management practices that encompass furniture.

I'm just hoping they don't ask about the 'Toilet Paper Dispenser Placement' section. That's where I really struggled.
