It might help contribute to earning points under Option 2.

Thank you, Marcus. Can you elaborate on the different areas where it might be applicable for us us to obtain points specifically related to the motor as well? I have been reading about points attributed to VSD, IAQ . . . any others?

Retrofitting a high-efficiency motor will not earn any points in and of itself. A high-efficiency motor retrofit will primarily save energy due to its high-efficiency relative to a standard motor. If you add a VSD it saves more energy. This could contribute to the energy saving percentages needed for this credit under Option 2 but will not get you there by itself. Not sure how it contributes to any IAQ credits?
