ID credit for saltwater pool?

NC-2009 IDc1:Innovation in Design
posted by  Nelina Loiselle  on 

I have done a lot of research and can not find any cases of getting an ID credit for using a saltwater pool. Does anyone know of any? If not do you think it would be an excepted strategy?

Does the seasonal commissioning have to be done by the same CxA who does all other commissioning activities or can a separate party be contracted for this? Any thoughts?

Hello! I am working on a project that already includes all of the required spaces for this credit under Option 1. The building owner now wants to install solar canopies over some of the parking.
