Question 18 of 30
18. Question
Which is a likely candidate for an Innovation in Design credit for innovative strategies?
Correct
Innovative strategies expand the breadth of green building practices and introduce new ideas. They are distinct from exemplary performance innovation credits in that they address environmental issues not addressed elsewhere within the LEED rating system. Educational outreach programs are intended to educate building occupants about the building’s features and the benefits of green building in general. These concepts aren’t addressed elsewhere within the LEED rating system, so this strategy is a likely candidate for an Innovation in Design credit for innovative strategies.
