FAQs about INc1 :

Is there a list of Innovation strategies available to v4 projects?

What happened to all of the operational policies and plans that we could pursue for Innovation credit under LEED v2009?

How do I meet the requirements for the “Community outreach and involvement” innovation option?

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?

NC-v4 INc1:Innovation

Walkable Project Site

Are facades of existing buildings (not historic) exempt of Requirement number 8 of the Walkable Project Site? 

Requirement 8: "No more than 30% of the primary facade at ground level is without doors or windows, with a maximum interval of 15 feet between doors or windows. 

The primary facade of a new construction project includes the facade of an existing parking garage not to be renovated. Does the 30% include only the portion of the project that is new construction, excluding the existing building, or does the existing building has to be included in the calculation?

It seems you need to fuflill 8 of the 9 requirements (for v4 of this Innovation credit) so if your project achieves the other 8 then I think it could be exempt or the one you do not achieve.
