Which of the following credits is NOT eligible for exemplary performance?

Light Pollution Reduction is the credit that is not eligible for exemplary performance because it does not have criteria established for exceeding the standard thresholds defined in the LEED rating system. Exemplary performance credits are typically available for certain credits where additional advancements in sustainability can be clearly quantified and recognized, such as improving energy performance beyond the baseline or implementing exemplary water efficiency strategies.

In contrast, Energy Performance, Water Efficiency, and Stormwater Management have well-defined metrics that allow for demonstration of exemplary performance through either significant percentage improvements or innovative strategies that surpass the established requirements. This distinction is essential for understanding the limitations of eligibility for exemplary performance credits within the LEED framework.
