Which of the following products would NOT qualify for Materials and Resources Credit,
Rapidly Renewable Materials?
A: Salvaged pine flooring reclaimed from a neighboring building
B: Strawboard cabinetry made with urea-formaldehyde resins
C: Linoleum flooring that contains VOCs
D: Built-in desks made of steel, plastic, and wheatboard

参考答案: A

本题解释:
Notes:
This question asks about renewable resources (defined as a product that is planted and
harvested within 10 years). The correct choices are all rapidly renewable. Rapidly
renewable resources can be assemblies of other products.
While the strawboard cabinetry and linoleum flooring will have a negative effect on IEQ,
you hopefully learned about the trade-offs between some strategies. For example a lot of
bamboo products are imported, but they don\'t qualify as regional materials.
The strawboard would qualify for Materials and Resources Credit, Rapidly Renewable
Materials, but would not qualify for Low Emitting Materials because of the formaldehyde
resin.
The linoleum flooring would contribute negatively to IEQ.
The desk is an assembly that contains steel (which contributes to MR Credit 4 Recycled
Material), plastic (a non-renewable product) and wheatboard (a renewable resource).
