Which actions may earn a project Innovation Credit under option 1?

Implementing a green energy system
Designing and implementing a green housekeeping program
Installing solar panels
Creating a waste reduction plan

The correct answer is: Designing and implementing a green housekeeping program

The action of designing and implementing a green housekeeping program aligns with the Innovation Credit under option 1 because it demonstrates a novel approach to improving the sustainability of building operations and maintenance practices. This type of program can go beyond the existing LEED requirements by incorporating best management practices for reducing the environmental impacts associated with housekeeping activities. Typically, an Innovation Credit is awarded when a project introduces a unique strategy that enhances environmental performance or advances the sustainability goals of the project in way that is not explicitly recognized in existing credit categories. A comprehensive green housekeeping program may address aspects like the use of eco-friendly cleaning products, efficient use of water, and waste reduction in daily cleaning activities, thus showcasing an innovative commitment to environmental stewardship. While the other options may also be beneficial to a project's sustainability goals, they are more straightforward implementations of existing LEED strategies rather than truly innovative approaches.
