A project has a $10 million materials budget. What estimated value of materials is needed to earn an Innovation in Design point for regional materials?
A: $1.0 million
B: $3.0 million
C: $4.0 million
D: $2.0 million

参考答案: D

本题解释:
This question asks about earning an Innovation in Design point, which includes both exemplary performance and innovative performance, so the requirements are greater than the requirements of the regional materials credit.

For regionally manufactured materials (Option 1) the credit calculation must be 20% or greater.

For regionally extracted, harvested, or recovered as well as manufactured materials (Option 2), the calculation must be 10% or greater.

For exemplary performance the regionally extracted, harvested, or recovered materials as well as manufactured (Option 2), the calculation must be 20% or greater.

$10.0M * 0.20 = $2.0M

Note the differences between Option 1 and Option 2. Option 1 requires manufactured materials only, while Option 2 requires extracted, harvested, or recovered, as well as manufactured materials.

$4M would also earn the point but the question asks for what is needed or the minimum amount required.
