Regional Priority Credits - these are bonus points for encouraging teams to attempt LEED credits that address specific environmental priorities in the project\'s region. Each zipcode in the U.S. has 6 LEED credits that are extra important to that zipcode. A project that achieves one of those credits earns a bonus point, up to a maximum of 4. Here is an example. In Georgia zipcode 30002 saving water is important, because Georgia has had a lot of droughts lately.

See what is important in your zipcode here:

Here is an example for zipcode 29821. This zipcode has 6 credits listed that are of environmental priority. They are:

SS Credit 4
SS Credit 6
WE Credit 2
EA Credit 1
EA Credit 4
IEQ Credit 2.3

For the time, lets ignore what the names of those credits are because it is beyond what you need to know for your exam. What is important is you can see there are 6 different credits for the zipcode.

If your project achieves 4, 5, or 6 of the credits in that list, the project gets 4 bonus points under the Regional Priority category. If the project achieves 2 of those credits, the project gets 2 bonus points. Just remember - pick from 6 credits, but you can only earn a maximum of 4 points.
