Which project type is not eligible for Exemplary Performance in the IP Integrative Process?

The correct response highlights that healthcare projects are not eligible for Exemplary Performance in the Integrative Process (IP) credit section of the LEED certification framework. Exemplary Performance is intended to encourage projects to exceed baseline requirements and achieve additional points for exceptional integration of strategies across disciplines.

In the context of LEED V4, the Integrative Process credit specifically emphasizes the inclusion of various project types to enhance sustainability outcomes. However, healthcare projects have unique complexities and efficiencies that are addressed directly through standard credit pathways rather than through Exemplary Performance. This ensures that projects such as commercial and school developments can pursue these additional credits as they typically offer more straightforward opportunities for innovative strategies and integrations in design and operation.

Exemplary Performance is designed to foster innovation and exceptional approaches, which may not be suitable or applicable for the specialized nature of healthcare facilities. Therefore, understanding the context of each project type is essential in determining eligibility for these points.
