Which statement describes the LEED Pilot Credit Library?

• A. Credits currently being tested across rating systems and credit categories that are proposed for the next version of LEED.
• B. Credits that have already been finalized for the current LEED version.
• C. A repository of final credits adopted in the next version.
• D. A library of historical credits from previous LEED versions.

Answer: (C)

The Pilot Credit Library serves to house the credits that have been refined and approved for inclusion in the next version of LEED. After credits are proposed and piloted to test their feasibility and impact, those that meet the performance criteria and intent are finalized and adopted for the upcoming LEED release. This library, then, is a record of the final credits that will appear in the next version, rather than credits that are still in early testing, or credits already finalized for the current version, or historical credits from older versions. So the best description is that it’s a repository of final credits adopted in the next version.
