Hi all, I see that several of the old faithful innovation credits are still available in v4, but when I search actual v4 certified projects, I can't find a single one shown on their scorecards. Are they actually being awarded? Any insights would be much appreciated.

Hi Lissa,
I can't comment on whether some of the old IN credits are being awarded, but all credits listed in the v4 innovation credit library are available for projects to puruse, and the requirements for some have not been updated in v4.
I hope this helps!

Thanks Kim! Yes, I've gone through the v4 Innovation Catalog. It's just very curious that no ID credits are showing on the scorecards of completed v4 reviews, even for projects that I know have earned them.

There are probably numerous projects still in progress (like mine) that have had one or more awarded through the design review, but aren't complete yet. We were able to earn the low-mercury lamps fave, and plan on pursuing the green education, too.

Does anyone know if Integrated Pest Management is still available as an Innovation credit for v4 Projects? It is not listed in the Innovation credit listing, so I presume it may not be available but wanted to verify. Thanks!

Hi Faun, IPM has been rolled into the new LEED O+M Starter Kit innovation option. The big change is that teams now have to document 2 O+M policies in order to earn 1 innovation point. The link includes the list of O+M options, which includes IPM.
