Is indoor irrigation not considered in this credit? If it isn't, could I consider it in the section "Innovation", since, in the project I'm considering, collected rainwater is used?

Yes, indoor irrigation is not within the scope of this credit. I'm not sure about attempting an Innovation credit for using rainwater to irrigate indoor plants. My sense is that the rules around Innovation credits have been getting more strict. Submitting a CIR before counting on this to document an IN point is probably a wise approach, but I'd be curious to hear if anyone else has tried something like this before with any success.

Say more about the scope of the indoors irrigation. How big the landscaped area or planters, or is it potted plants? To some extent I would look for an tangible environmental benefit here, and scope of the impact would be relevant. I agree with Trista that getting a CIR before counting on this would be wise.
