Update: USGBC has closed Pilot Credits 5 and 6 to new project registrants as of 1/12/11.
This prerequisite (PC5) and accompanying credit (PC6) were introduced to elevate integrative design to specific, actionable and measurable steps in the design process rather than assume that project teams will engage in integrative design in a meaningful way.
Developed for health care
The NC, CS, CI, and Schools. Since they are actual credits in LEED for Healthcare, they can't be pursued as pilot credits in that system.
