Bamboo flooring demonstration: exceptional effort in researching new sustainable materials Our design team is dedicated in introducing sustainable materials that are not familiar with the industry to the project, such as stained concrete, wheatboard, recycle-content ceramic tiles and rubber flooring. In particular, bamboo is a rapidly renewable material and has been used widely in gyms in Europe, but the client was not very comfortable of incorporating the material. In order to convince the client/ users to use bamboo flooring in lieu of hardwood for sports flooring, we installed a demonstration racquetball court. Users are provided with information of the new product and can try playing on the bamboo flooring. At the end, although bamboo is not used for the basketball courts and racquetball courts, they are used in the aerobics area and other common circulation space. Along the line of USGBC\'s policy of "no work, no point", we feel that this is a significant effort by the design team to introduce unfamiliar materials to the client. And we would qualify for an Innovation and Design Credit. Please advice on the feasibility of the credit.
