Which of the following is NOT an option to meet the IN credit for innovation?

  1. Implement innovations

  2. Pursue a pilot credit from the LEED pilot credit library

  3. Achieve exemplary performance

  4. Conduct a stakeholder assessment

The correct answer is: Conduct a stakeholder assessment

The correct choice reflects that conducting a stakeholder assessment is not a recognized method for achieving the Innovation (IN) credit in LEED. The options available for earning this credit typically include implementing innovations that go beyond the standard requirements of LEED, pursuing a pilot credit that is part of LEED's pilot credit library, or demonstrating exemplary performance in one of the LEED categories, which significantly exceeds typical performance thresholds. On the other hand, while stakeholder assessments are valuable practices in the project development process and can improve engagement and decision-making, they do not directly contribute to the earning of the Innovation credit within the framework of LEED. This is because the IN credit focuses on innovative strategies and exemplary performance in sustainability practices rather than participation or assessment methodologies.
