This is a follow up to other exemplary performance (EP) discussions that have occurred. I understand that an EP point can be earned under Path 12 of this credit. In addition, an different EP point can be earned under the Innovation in Design section, like any other credit. My specific question: I have a site which is 100% white concrete and earned EP for Heat Island, Non-Roof under the Core & Shell system. The Commercial Interiors language states that EP for Path 4 can be earned by using multiple compliance methods (structured parking, white materials, shaded pavement). It does not mention using 100% white materials. Can I submit an Innovation in Design credit for Exemplary Performance of SSc1, Option 2, Path 4 because the site is 100% light colored materials? Thanks.

I haven't had this situation before, but going by the official rules and language it's best if you submit it as ID. The reviewer will that either advise you to resubmit it under SSc1 path12 or deny it, which means you can use another ID approach to get that credit.

Hi Curt,
I have come across similar situation now. The basebuiling in which LEED CI project is located is having 100% basement covered parking. Not sure if this can be accounted under exemplary performance for Path 4: Heat Island Effect - Nonroof. Have you heard anything for your project?
Does 100% covered parking earn 1 point under Path 12: Other Quantifiable Environmental Performance?
Appreciate if you can share.
Thanks
