One of the components of an Educational Program ID credit is a case study. I've searched and searched online but have not found an example of a case study that has met the requirements of this credit. I'm really hoping to find out the level of detail that is expected in a case study. The project I am working on is a semi-classified facility and we are hoping to pursue this credit. Would it be compliant to submit a case study that calls out the green features (ie, recycled content, energy/water efficient features, regional materials, etc) without specifically calling out the use of building other then office? The building owners are excited about the credit but equally reluctant to agree to chase it if they are required to share confidential information. I am really hoping someone would be willing to share a LEED-accepted case study that I can use as an example to them of what level of detail a review team is expecting. Thank you!!

While my case study examples are a bit old to share, i do have experience with doing these for confidential clients and having the effort credited. In those cases, the case studies were explicitly given to current employees and as part of any new employee orientation, but not made publically available. The USGBC has been good about respecting the confidentiality agreements and non-disclosure documents that have been expressed to them on these types of projects, so they will not publish those case studies, and have not used this against these projects when seeking compliance.
