Can anyone confirm the number of points that can be earned solely through achieving Pilot credits?
The way I read the requirements in the Innovation section it would appear to be up to four total points to be achieved from Pilot credits alone (Option-2 for one point AND Option-3 for up to three additional points.) Is this how others interpret this as well?

Hi Jason,
If you're pursuing only Pilot credits, you'll be eligible for 4 of the 5 points available for strategies. The way the guide is written is very confusing, and it took me getting a v4 project and actually getting to the template to fully understand. Once you see the template, the area where you tell the template what you're pursuing is limited to 4 points total for Innovation, 4 points total for Pilot Credits, and 2 points for Exemplary Performance; you can use any combination to achieve all 5 points.

I'd also add that this rating system correction (https://www.usgbc.org/leedaddenda/100002169) confirms that teams have to earn at least one pilot credit and at least one innovation credit in order to earn all 5 points.
