Use this list as a guide to 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. approaches that are available through IOc1: Innovation in Operations, Path 2. The list is sorted by ease of achievement, from credits that are more commonly achieved, to moderate difficulty, to credits that are considered tougher.
The actual accessibility of any given approach depends on your project’s specific circumstances, of course.

SSc5: Site Development—Protect or Restore Open Habitat
Any team can achieve this credit through an agreement to improve or maintain offsite areas, and some projects may have enough area to do it onsite.
Baseline credit requirements: Cover at least 25% of site, excluding footprint, or 5% of total site (whichever is greater), with native or ...

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.
Sharron, it's under the credit requirements for IOc1, to be found in the LEED Reference Guide, or the basic LEED credit language doc. To see the relevant credit language on LEEDuser, click here.

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.

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.

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.
Limits on Exemplary Performance Points
For clarification: if a building were to acheive more than 3 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. points, only three will be counted toward the building's actual certification?
Yes, that's right. To put it more specifically: you can achieve the Exemplary PerformanceIn LEED, certain credits have established thresholds beyond basic credit achievement.

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. thresholds for as many credits as you like, but you can't earn more than three points in IOc1 for doing so. A fourth point can be earned via IOc1 for innovation, however.

We thought we had earned WEc1.2 under EBOMEBOM is an acronym for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance, one of the LEED 2009 rating sytems. 2008, but we just had an analog water meter which was read monthly so the point was denied. 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.
