Which term refers to a credit category focused on regionally significant sustainability issues?

• A. Regional Priority
• B. Global Priority
• C. Core Credit
• D. Pilot Credit

Answer: (A)

Regional Priority credits focus on regionally significant sustainability issues identified for a project’s location. In LEED, these are optional credits that let teams address locally important topics and earn extra points for aligning with regional priorities. They appear on the LEED scorecard as Regional Priority credits, and each RP credit earned adds a point toward the project’s total, up to the regional cap. This is distinct from Core credits, which are standard credits everyone must pursue for certification; Pilot Credits are experimental credits meant to test new ideas; Global Priority isn’t a recognized LEED credit category here, since the emphasis is on regional rather than global issues.
