Shauna, given that BECx is something that USGBC is trying to incentivize in LEED BD&C, given that it's not required under this credit, and given the comprehensive effect if can have on energy and overall performance, I think there is potential here, but I could not say for sure. Have you tried initiating this yet, or received other feedback on whether it would fly?

Shauna - you might want to check out pg. 471 of the Reference Guide, which provides ideas for IO points that are more or less-preapproved. One is related to performing an infrared scan of the building to identify thermal breaches of the envelope.
