There is some confusion around earning Innovation Points in LEED for Healthcare with pilot credits. Per the LEED for Healthcare rating system it is only possible to earn only one point with pilot credits – although you may implement more than one pilot credit on the project. 1- Can you clarify if it is possible to earn more than one point in the Innovation Category with pilot credits in LEED for Healthcare? 2- Is it possible to earn more than one point in any other rating system in the Innovation category for pilot credits?

Amy, the official LEED language for all systems has been that one pilot credit is available per project, even though that wasn't USGBC's intention.That has been fixed in the LEED addenda released last week, such that HC projects can now earn 4 points via pilot credits. Other systems can earn as many IDc1 points as are attainable for that system (5 in NC, 4 in Schools, etc.).
