Only 3 Exemplary Performance Credits allowed?

Where does it say in the Reference Guide or any other publication that only three EP points are allowed? I know it just told me in the template but where was I supposed to have seen that? It's a little embarrasing to tell my client we are going to loose an EP credit because we already have three. Thanks.

Claim exemplary performance after the review has been submitted

The project has been submitted for review and we have received the review comments.After the review comments have been included in the documentation,we realize that we can score 2 points under 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..However,the website has locked the slots of credits which were not claimed before submitting for review.Is there any provision that we can still claim those credits?

Yes, you can still claim. Just contact your Certified Body directly and send in a feedback form to LEEDOnline identifying which credit you are pursuing 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..

But, take note: you must achieve the credit first, so if it was pended in the preliminary review, you must demonstrate compliance. If you already achieved the credit and didn't submit for exemplary performance, then be sure to include these details to the CB and LOL.

Under the EBOM 2008 Reference Guide it did not state that it must be continuously monitored, but under the EBOM 2009 Reference Guide it does.
