A: Regional credits are bonus points awarded for addressing needs specific to a region.

Do not confuse the following terms:

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.

Regional Materials - building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured, within 500 miles of the project site.

Regional Variations - These are only found in reference guides and are specific to each credit. A regional variation \'outlines concerns specific to the geographic location of the building\'. For example in some areas there aren\'t great recycling programs, or they may be nonexistent. In regards to construction waste management the regional variation states \'hey, check your local recycling program before you get to deep into this credit because if you can\'t recycle anything your chances of earning the credit go down\'.
B:This could help a project in several areas such as restoring habitat and reducing landscape watering needs.
C:This would help earn a project Innovation in Design.
D:This would help earn a project Regional Materials.
