Extra point?
Is this extra point for anyone or only areas where it is a regional priority credit?
Tristan Roberts replied Editor – LEEDuser, BuildingGreen, LLC Feb 19 2010
Grant, the Exemplary PerformanceIn LEED, certain credits have established thresholds beyond basic credit achievement. Meeting these thresholds can earn additional points through Innovation in Design (ID) or Innovation in Operations (IO) points. As a general rule of thumb, ID credits for exemplary performance are awarded for doubling the credit requirements and/or achieving the next incremental percentage threshold. However, this rule varies on a case by case basis, so check the credit requirements. point available through IDc1 is available to all projects. Note that you have to go above and beyond the basic credit requirements to earn this point.
Regional priority points available through RPc1 are available only in areas where it is identified as regionally significant. In these areas, it would be automatically earned once the credit itself was earned. (You don't have to go above and beyond.)
