CC-X: Custom Credit

Goal

The intent is to provide an incentive for additional performance beyond the final rating system and award efforts in this direction.

Requirements

1. Come up with an idea for a design or construction best practice for roadways that is not currently included in the Greenroads Rating System and is more sustainable than standard or conventional practices. (Be prepared to justify why.)
2. Download and complete the Greenroads Credit Template (link below). Be sure to follow the guidelines provided in the custom credit documentation below on how to fill in the areas of the Template and format your information.  The fonts will not look correct on your computer, the official Greenroads fonts are available upon request.
3. Use the weighting scheme developed for Greenroads (see the Introduction to this Manual) to determine how many points the credit is worth. Justify your response with empirical data or match a currently existing weighting scheme.
4. Submit the template for peer review by the review team and make adjustments if requested or as needed.

In the "Credit Requirements” section you must:

1. Answer the question here: What measureable thing in general needs to be done to meet the goal you state?
2. Hint: Sometimes it is easy to display what needs to be done in a bulleted or numbered list.

Documentation

• Copy of the specification XX. Be very specific and indicate where such a document may be found in a standard set of plans and specifications, or if it needs to be created and submitted separately. Photos are an example of a separate item.
