As a reminder, this credit, and credit 5 will be closing at the end of today (1/11/2011). They will be replaced by Pilot Credit 42: Integrated Process, which is based on the credit currently in Public Comment (http://www.usgbc.org/leed/development).
If you wish to use this credit in the future, register by the end of the day today. Projects that register by today will be able to continue using this credit on their registered project, and the LEEDuser forum will remain open for achievement discussion.

Maybe I misunderstood something. I know Pilot #5 is required to do #6. But can we just do #5 prereq and still get a point for the ID credit? I thought #5 & #6 = 2 points.

Renee, sorry for the confusion. You are correct, you may just attempt credit 5 for 1 point, or 5+6 for 2 points, but projects must do credit 5 in order to be eligible for 6.
This confusion is one reason we are switching to the version now in public comment, hopefully it will be more clear.

Thanks for the clarification. My confusion came as I was trying to sign up for the credit, and saw that #5 and #6 are listed together. I'm sure it is to make sure that people going for #6 don't forget #5, but it worried me for a second. Thanks for the quick response.
