Yes, as long as they don’t represent more than 25% of the connected lighting load in regularly occupied spaces. Otherwise, if recessed fixtures are the primary lighting system in your project, you can always meet Strategy A without meeting Strategy D.

The room must meet all the requirements for multi-occupant spaces. In addition, however, any luminaires designated for the presentation wall also need to be separately controlled. 

There are two common approaches to achieve Option 1 for spaces with individual workstations. The first is to install task lights (similar to the v2009 credit) which are dimmable or have at least three settings. The second is to use an IP-based control system tied to individually controlled fixtures overhead.

No, as an International Alternative Compliance Path it’s only available for projects outside the U.S.

Yes, several ways. For Options 2 & 3, The local materials multiplier doubles the value of products that come from within a 100-mile radius of the project, but the raw materials have to be local as well, not just the manufacturing. For Option 2, Cradle-to-Cradle Gold or Platinum certification gets you 1.5 times the value. And for Option 3, products with documentation going farther up the supply chain (beyond the immediate, first-tier suppliers to the manufacturer) and with documentation for ingredients below the standard threshold get extra credit.

For Option 1, either one counts if the product is certified at the Bronze level or higher, although for the Material Health certificate to count it also has to indicate that at least 90 of materials have been assessed. For Option 2, just full Cradle-to-Cradle certification (Silver level or higher).

Yes, the credit language includes information about other certification levels for Cradle-to-Cradle v2, but those certifications have all expired by now, so you can ignore those details.
