Occupancy Sensors in LPD Calculations

Has anyone had experience in calculating additional reduction in LPD by incorporating a significant number of occupancy sensors in their office lighting planning? Is there a way to calculate this additional reduction that is acceptable by USGBC? Alternatively, could using a manufacturer's calculator for proposed reduction utilizing occupancy sensors be acceptable as an Innovation point?

I think I can answer my own question, having taken a closer look at the CI rating system - EAc1.2 addresses controls specifically and any attempt at the above is essentially "double dipping"...
