What is the maximum amount of credits available for RP Regional Priority on all projects?

Regional Priority (RP) credits in the LEED v4 rating system are designed to encourage the achievement of credits that address the specific environmental priorities of a project's location. The maximum number of Regional Priority credits a project can earn is four. This is significant because it allows projects to focus their efforts on addressing regions' unique sustainability challenges and to achieve additional recognition for doing so. By highlighting these specific areas, LEED aims to make the certification process more relevant to diverse geographical contexts.

This focus on local conditions aligns with the broader goals of LEED to promote sustainable building practices that can significantly reduce the environmental impact in various regions. Therefore, aiming for four Regional Priority credits supports not just the project itself but also contributes to the environmental quality of the surrounding area.
