To pursue a Regional Priority Credit in LEED, project teams must provide the latitude and longitude (A) of the project in LEED Online. This information helps the LEED system identify which regional priorities are applicable based on the project's geographic location. Regional Priority Credits are customized credits specific to environmental concerns in a particular area, rewarding projects for addressing local issues. Other options like heating and cooling degree days (B), climate zone (C), and ENERGY STAR score (D) are not required to qualify for these credits.
