A project team targets concrete as a material to receive Environmentally Preferable Products credit for fly ash content. Due to weather conditions, the structural engineer suggests reducing the fly ash content in a small portion of the suspended slab areas to speed the curing process and achieve the required strength. The adjusted calculation shows that reduced fly ash in these areas will result in failure to achieve the targeted point. Which of the following is the most effective strategy that the LEED AP could pursue?
- A. Ignore the engineer's recommendation and proceed with the original design
- B. Demand the project team slow the construction schedule so additional curing time will allow the required amount of fly ash to be used
- C. Submit a CIR requesting the low fly ash suspended slab be removed from the calculations
- D. Apply for a Regional Priority exemption since the local climate interfered with the project team's best effort to achieve the point
