Hell all - I've been trying to understand the requirements of the SS 5.1 ACP which allows donation of offsite land in trust. I understand there is also an option in v4 for donating funds to an accredited land trust in the same watershed, but there are also references I've located which refer to donations to NWF (Pilot 83?). Could someone help me parse out the details? Do these options differ with rating systems and versions? How current are the requirements? Thanks.

Marian, maybe you could be more specific in terms of what you're trying to figure out? Basically between the Pilot Credit (which is here on LEEDuser), the v4 requirements, and the regular v2009 requirements that were amended a while back, you have a lot of options that extend through various rating systems.

Thanks Tristan. I applied version 4's content as that approach allows more flexibility--donating to NWF is not a requirement, nor is the donation of actual land. We were assisting a Bay Area land trust in determining how they could get involved in the LEED process. A win- win.
