I am working on a project where they completed an extensive acoustics study during DD. They implemented some of the measures, however they didn't want to spend the money to have acoustical performance measurements done. Do you think that performing an acoustics study during DD can be a valid innovation point? The facility is a University Library.

Katie, I wouldn't rule it out, but I think you'd have better luck pursuing the LEED for Schools acoustics prerequisite and/or credit, as that provides an already-established path. It sounds like it may not fit with your project, however.

What about Pilot Credit 24, Acoustical Performance? We have not pursued this, but it is kind of aligned with the credit that will be coming in v4, and appears to be a design credit that may not require measurement. Just an idea.

@Tristan, Thanks for the idea on LEED for Schools prereq. I'll pursue that route for now. @Scott, I did look at Pilot Credit 24-- it is also performance driven (as it should be). Unfortunately, my client just doesn't want to spend the money on measuring acoustic performance. I appreciate the comment though!

Katie, check out the forum for PC 24 (pilot credit - acoustics); it looks like measurement is not required. Sorry - bit late now that it is September, but have only just looked at this credit.
