Note this question asks what is not true.

Exemplary performance points are generally awarded for doubling the credit requirements and/or achieving the next incremental percentage threshold.

For instance, an ID credit for exemplary performance in water use reduction (LEED for New Construction v3, WE Credit 3) requires a minimum of 45% savings (30% for 2 points, 35% for 3 points, 40% for 4 points).

Exemplary performance only earns a project one point, no matter how much extra the credit threshold is exceeded.

For instance, an ID credit for exemplary performance in water use reduction (LEED for New Construction v3, WE Credit 3) requires a minimum of 45% savings (30% for 2 points, 35% for 3 points, 40% for 4 points). But if the project achieved a 50%, 55%, or 80% water use reduction, only one exemplary performance point would be earned.

Not all LEED credits have an exemplary performance option. Brownfield redevelopment is an example of a credit that does not. Project teams either redevelop the brownfield, or they don\'t. LEED doesn\'t allow remediating 50% of a brownfield and leaving the rest of the site contaminated, and awarding exemplary performance if the project team remediates 100% of the site. No, the credit requires remediating the entire site. Therefore there is no exemplary performance.

The Innovation in Design category can earn a maximum of 6 points; therefore, there are limits to how many exemplary performance points can be earned. For example, in LEED for New Construction, the maximum is 3 points.
