Brooks, this sounds like the right approach for the situation. Did you have any specific questions about this path?

Hi--thanks for your reply. I have a couple of v2009 projects that will pursue this compliance path. I also have a v2.2 with "limited landscape opportunity" that would like to pursue it as well, Do you or anyone else feel that we may be successful using this as an alternative compliance path for a v2.2 project? I can not locate any v2.2 CIR that would support this. THANK YOU!

I would be fairly confident that this would also apply to a v2.2 project. USGBC has pretty much stopped updating the v2.2 system, but there is some precedent that changes like this for 2009 projects can also apply to v2.2. There's no way of knowing for sure without getting a CIR, or just submitting the credit (or perhaps an email to your reviewer would also do it), but it should be okay. Let us know what happens.
