Under Option 2, the credit language says "The budget method organizes the building interior into six assemblies:" but then proceeds to list only five. Anyone know what the sixth is? or if there are, indeed, only five?

HI Nadav, I noticed this too and wondered... As I read it, I believe they are including exterior applied products as the 6th "assemblies" but are limiting them to Schools and Healthcare projects only. Like many, I await the Reference Guide with a mixture of anticipation and dread to get these types of issues clarified. David
