Advantages of v4 Schools over NC

Hi all, We are analyzing a project that is on a higher ed campus but serves pre-K students. While it doesn't fit the K-12 guidance, we do feel we could make a compelling argument for using Schools IF there was a good reason do so. My question is if there are actual advantages to certifying under Schools as opposed to NC... anything that we'd be doing in a new school-ish building that would give us a leg up on certain credits? I see the thresholds on Optimizing Energy are different. Does that matter? Anyone have experience with v4 Schools? Would we be best off doing NC and "borrowing" like one user commented a while back? Are this philosophical differences in the approaches? Thanks!
