hi james that is fine - exemplary performance is restricted to max 3, and regardless of how many pilot credits you pursue, a maximum of 1 point can be achieved through the pilot schemes. But within IDc1 the 3 paths (innovation, exemplary performance and pilot credits) can be mixed.

You can apply for up to 5 pilot credits on a project.

The 4/14/2010 Addenda which added Path 3 - Pilot Credits as eligible to IDc1, specifies: "Projects may pursue more than 1 pilot credit; however, a maximum of 1 point will be awarded." I haven't read anywhere that theres anything stopping you participating in several Pilot Credits, but my understanding is that you cannot earn the max possible 5 points for IDc1 doing so.

Here's what it says in the Pilot Credit Library FAQs How many points are pilot credits worth? a. Pilot credits in the Innovation section are each worth one point, under the ID/IO section of the rating systems. Project teams may apply for up to 5 pilot credits, and, in turn, 5 points.

Neil is correct. The 4/2010 addendum is misleading on this point. I've complained to USGBC about it myself and they indicated they planned to fix it.

Can you please clarify; can you submit for more than one pilot credit, and be awarded more than one of your innovations with a pilot? I would like to submit for two different ones, will I be awarded both points?

You can submit for as many pilot credits as there are points in IDc1. If you meet the requirements, yes, you should be able to earn both points.
