The LEED Pilot Credit Library is intended to facilitate the introduction of new prerequisites and credits to LEED. This process will allow USGBC to test and refine credits through LEED 2009 project evaluations before they are sent through the balloting process for introduction into LEED.
LEED 2009 project teams are encouraged to review the pilot credits currently available for testing, below. Teams interested in taking part in the pilot process must complete the project registration form.
All LEED 2009 projects that participate in the piloting of a credit or prerequisite will be awarded 1 point under Innovation & Design Credit 1 or Innovation in Operations Credit 1 after completing the required documentation and uploading it through the IDc1/IOc1 form in LEED Online for verification.
The evaluation forms from all projects participating in a given pilot will be reviewed by a Pilot Working Group established by the LEED Steering Committee. The information will help inform improvements to the content of the credit or prerequisite or determine whether the credit is suited for introduction into LEED. For more information on the Pilot Credit Library please review the Foundations of LEED (PDF).
