Storage Cabinets — Expert Answer
Can office storage cabinets contribute to LEED certification?
Yes. Storage cabinets can contribute to LEED credits in several categories: (1) MR Credit: Building Product Disclosure and Optimization — if the manufacturer provides an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) disclosing lifecycle environmental impact; (2) MR Credit: Low-Emitting Materials — if the cabinet meets CARB ATCM 93120 or equivalent for formaldehyde emissions from wood composite panels; (3) MR Credit: Sourcing of Raw Materials — for FSC-certified wood content in laminate cabinets; (4) MR Credit: Recycled Content — for cabinets with verified post-consumer or post-industrial recycled steel or wood content.
