FAQs about INc1 :

Is there a list of Innovation strategies available to v4 projects?

What happened to all of the operational policies and plans that we could pursue for Innovation credit under LEED v2009?

How do I meet the requirements for the “Community outreach and involvement” innovation option?

I’m confused about how many points I can earn for each strategy (innovation vs pilot credit vs exemplary performance). Is there a limit on each type of strategy if we want to earn all five Innovation points?

We achieved exemplary performance for more than two credits. Can we claim more than two points?

One of the credits we used for exemplary performance didn’t actually end up earning exemplary performance. Can we replace it with a different credit that did?

We didn’t claim one of our credits as an exemplary performance point under INc1 during the design review, but now we’d like to because it earned exemplary performance per the review comments. Is it possible to claim it now?

Cool Walls

Greetings, 
We are working on Cool Walls and Heat Island Effect credit, are there any valid/approved references for concrete’s thermal emittance and solar reflectance values?
Thanks.

Hi Juan, For the Heat Island Credit, there are standard values shared in the "LEEDuser's Viewpoint" landing page for concrete; these are not necessarily the same ones that should be assumed for vertical applications, though. I'm not entirely sure how those would be determined without testing. For me, that's what makes the Cool Walls option difficult - there just aren't a lot of products that have the contextual info available.

Thanks! I'll check on the standard values shared in the LEED user's Viewpoint. Thanks again.
