What is the maximum number of credits for IN Option 2 - Pilot on all projects?

The correct choice reflects the potential for projects to earn a varying number of credits through the Innovative Strategies credit category, particularly under Option 2, which allows for the use of pilot credits. In this case, projects can earn additional points by implementing innovative practices that have been tested and approved as pilot credits by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).

The structure of these credits is designed to encourage creativity and experimentation in sustainable building practices. Since the maximum number of pilot credits that can be applied to a project is flexible, depending on their approval and the specific strategies employed, projects may have the opportunity to earn between 1 to 4 credits. This adaptability is integral to fostering innovation within the LEED framework, hence this range is established.

Other options, which may present fixed amounts of credits, do not account for the variability and potential for broader recognition of innovative practices that pilot credits allow. The focus in Option 2 promotes exploration beyond standard credits, thus the answer encompasses the maximum possibilities.
