Does any body know why this pilot credit does not use the reference standard, titled “ANSI/MTS Whole System Integration Process Guide (WSIP)-2007 for Sustainable Buildings and Communities.” It was referenced in the pilot credits 5, 6, and 42 which are the ones that are now closed, but for some reason is not referenced in Pilot Credit 60.

Hi Heather - the WSIP document is not the basis for this credit, but it can certainly be used by project teams as a helpful guide. This version of the pilot credit is based on the most recent v4 proposal. The goal is to conduct an analysis (discovery) early enough in the planning process that the cost and time implications are kept low, so no specific guideline is required in order to earn the credit.
