FAQs about INc1 :

Can our EBOM v4 project earn 1 point for the Innovation: Occupant Engagement credit AND earn 1 point for the Innovation: Green Building Education credit? Or are projects limited to pursuing just one of these innovation options?

Is there a list of Innovation strategies available to v4 projects?

I’m confused about how many points I can earn for each strategy (innovation vs pilot credit vs exemplary performance). Is there a limit on each type of strategy if we want to earn all five Innovation points?

One of the credits we used for exemplary performance didn’t actually end up earning exemplary performance in the preliminary review. Can we replace it with a different credit that did?

We didn’t claim one of our credits as an exemplary performance point during the preliminary review, but now we’d like to because it earned exemplary performance per the review comments. Is it possible to claim it now?

EBOM-v4 INc1:Innovation

Need help on a tricky project

Hi everyone, 
I'm Sustainability Manager at a Chicago start-up called Farmer's Fridge. We make wholesome, chef-curated meals and distribute them out of a 12-sq ft micro-restaurant, which operates similarly to a vending machine. We are able to offer a fresh and healthy vending option in several segments like health care, education, B&I, retail, and airports.

I am looking for help to define how and/or if placing a Farmer's Fridge vending machine in an existing building can help to support any LEED credits. If it can, looking for recommendations for the best way to communicate this to clients.

Eden, it sounds great, but I can't think of any way for your service to contribute toward LEED credits. Have you checked out WELL and Fitwel?

Thanks, Paula! That's what it looked like the more I read into the certification. However, I wanted to check. You see, some of our food is sourced locally, some of it is organic, and the wood casing around the fridge is sustainably sourced. 

Given that, do you still think we do not contribute toward credits?

I have looked into WELL, but not Fitwel! Thank you for the recommendation!
