FAQs about INc1 :

Is there a list of Innovation strategies available to v4 projects?

What happened to all of the operational policies and plans that we could pursue for Innovation credit under LEED v2009?

How do I meet the requirements for the “Community outreach and involvement” innovation option?

I’m confused about how many points I can earn for each strategy (innovation vs pilot credit vs exemplary performance). Is there a limit on each type of strategy if we want to earn all five Innovation points?

We achieved exemplary performance for more than two credits. Can we claim more than two points?

One of the credits we used for exemplary performance didn’t actually end up earning exemplary performance. Can we replace it with a different credit that did?

We didn’t claim one of our credits as an exemplary performance point under INc1 during the design review, but now we’d like to because it earned exemplary performance per the review comments. Is it possible to claim it now?

NC-v4 INc1:Innovation

Sustainable wastewater management - Urine recovery

Hey,

We are pursuing Option 3 of the Innovation Credit for Sustainable Wastewater Management (LEED v4). We are utilizing a process developed here in Switzerland, called Vuna Nexus, and are currently preparing the documentation for our Final Review.

We have some questions regarding the additional requirements:

  1. "Did the revisions to this credit make it more achievable for your project? For other projects?" There are no addenda to the credit, only a note stating: "1/15/2013: removed NSF 350 standard from requirements." Does this question ask whether the removal of the NSF 350 standard influenced our ability to pursue this project? If not, could you please clarify what is being asked?
  2. "Are there strategies that have been used on this or other projects that would be applicable to this credit? Explain." Obviously, our strategy is applicable; otherwise, we would not be pursuing it. Does this question imply that we should identify if other strategies used in our project could also be applied by this specific credit?

Thank you for your guidance.
