FAQs about INc1 :

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?

We achieved exemplary performance for more than two credits. Can we claim more than two points?

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

We didn’t claim one of our credits as an exemplary performance point under INc1 during the design review, but now we’d like to because it earned exemplary performance per the review comments. Is it possible to claim it now?

With the Innovation in Design credit for LEED-CI v4, the reference guide indicates that you can achieve all 5 credits thru a combination of innovation and exemplary performance credits (option 3). However, the ONLINE form says of your 5 innovation credits, you MUST achieve at least one pilot credit? Contradiction?

Len, this was just recently clarified in a LEED Interpretation. You do need to hit each category (innovation, EP, pilot credit) to maximize your points.

Hi, This was clarified in addenda for LEED BD+C(Oct 2, 2017, page 69) where it is stated that 'one point is reserved for Pilot Credits and one for Innovation. To use all five points projects must use at least one pilot credit and innovation credit.'

On my CI project, I contacted GBCI for clarity. Since that project was registered before the LI was released, we were able to document all 5 points without a Pilot Credit. If anyone has a project that was registered before the LI release, you will need to also contact GBCI specifically for your project. I uploaded the correspondence for backup support.
