Hi Laura - Thanks for posting. It is anticipated that, once these requirements are part of a balloted and weighted rating system, that Option 2 will likely earn an additional point. Since the requirements are currently in the Pilot Library, you would get only one point, whether your pursue Option 1 or 2. Does this help?

Yes, thanks. I am not working on a project that could apply for the credit, but I do want to bring information about the proposed credit to my state agency's Green Stormwater Infrastructure Team to solicit comments that I can submit to USGBC by the Friday deadline. Is there any more supporting information about the proposed/pilot credit that I could provide to my team this afternoon for review?

I would suggest that you send them to the USGBC Rating System Development page: www.usgbc.org/leed/development so they can view all of the proposed Sites and Water changes and comment on those credits too. Additionally, there are supporting documents such as summaries of changes and an FAQ document.

I just finished submitting for this credit, and I agree with Laura's comment. Option 2 is more restrictive than option 1 and should get an additional credit.
