I understand that in LEED 2009 you can achieve up to 3 points for exemplary performance. How is this different from LEED 2008? I had a colleague achieve multiple exemplary performance credits under 2008. However, the 2008 reference guide states: "Only one IO point can be earned for exemplary performance (page 494, Option A, last sentence). Am I reading this statement incorrectly, and can you actually achieve 4 exemplary performance credits under 2008?
I know this is a LEED 2009 forum, but unfortunately there is little to no guidance available for LEED-EB O&M (2008).

Hi Chris,For each credit within IO you can choose to follow option A or option B. Option A allows you to get an IO point for an EP within EBOM, while Option B allows you to propose your own strategy (one not outlined in EBOM). You have these options for each credit and you can earn 1 IO point for the completion of each credit. I believe the line under option A is referring to you only being able to earn one point per credit. You can earn a total of 1-4 points under IO, one from each credit.
