We are a state natural resources agency with lots of bird strikes, so we would like to pursue this credit as part of our LEED EB: O&M project. It is not clear from reading through the credit whether EBOM requires a threat potential assessment, which is required for the new construction rating systems. EBOM clearly requires the facade monitoring plan, but does not mention the threat potential assessment. Thank you.

Hi Lee Ann,
It appears that the BD+C version of the credit has been posted here under EBOM. Regardless, the EBOM version currently does not require a threat potential assessment. It only requires that the project comply with the Facade Monitoring Plan requirements, one of the Interior Lighting options, and one of the Exterior Lighting options. This means that the project would need to develop and implement a building facade monitoring plan, as well as a lighting design strategy for interior and exterior lighting that meets the requirements. Hope this clarifies things.
