Dear all,
we have a problem on the threshold selection for Light Pollution Reduction credit. We can't select both "uplight" and "light trespass", because the system considers 2 points selected to 1 point total and appears the following error message:"One point is available for every two supplemental strategies. You must select an additional strategy in order to earn a point."
What can we do? Should we select only one option?
Thanks

I don't understand your problem. This credit is worth 1 point, and there is no exemplary performance to earn a second point.
"We can't select both "uplight" and "light trespass"". I don't understand this statement. This credit is two parts, "uplight" and "light trespass". You have the choice of selecting "Option 1" or "Option 2" for each part. It is impossible to select both options under "uplight". But you can select one of the options for each part.
Are you saying that when you select "Option 1" under the "uplight" section that the form doesn't allow you to select either "Option 1" or "Option 2" under the "light trespass" part?
I'm not familiar with the error message either. What version of the form are you using? I want to try opening that version and recreate the error.

I am having the same issue with Form v01. They should be boxes instead of buttons so you can select which method you chose (BUG or Calculation for both Uplight and Light Trespass Options even though they aren't each worth a point. I assume that since only checking one should satisfy the point assignment the reviewers will figure it out. Has there been any problem with the credit being reviewed with this form error?

I think I understand what you are referring to now. In LEED Online, rather than the old "Form" button that would open up a pdf file in v2009 and earlier, this v4 online has a button called "Thresholds".
I think someone read your post and has updated it. I just clicked Thresholds and it now shows
- Uplight (.5 points)
- Light trespass (.5 points)
Clicking each of these will open up the option of
- BUG rating method (.5 points)
- Calculation method (.5 points)
Picking the options will now show a point total "1 of 1 points selected".
Thank you for asking the question. USGBC does read these forums.
