Consider whether one or both paths to earning points under this  credit are suitable for your project:

Path 1 – Innovation in Design: Use an innovative approach to something not already covered in the LEED rating system. This approach must represent and innovative design approach to a problem, must be comprehensive in scope, and must have a quantifiable environmental benefit. Approach this path as if you were creating a new LEED “ID credit” from scratch.

Path 2 – Exemplary Performance: Go well beyond the performance thresholds of existing LEED credits.
