The same issue applies to a CS project in Switzerland. In the Credit Assembler where you add or remove credits the following are marked as regional priority. SSc3 Brownfield Redevelopment SSc6.2 Stormwater Design - Quality WEc2 Innovative Wastewater Technologies EAc2 On-Site Renewable Energy MRc2 Construction Waste Management MRc6 Certified Wood Does anybody have got more details on that or on what the real RP credits are?

We seem to have the same issue here in London. I have a CI project and have SSc1, SSc2, WEc1, MRc3.1, EQc6.1 and EQc7.1 marked as priority credits. Seems a bit random, especially as I doubt controllability of lighting would be the most important thing on a project here (how about public transport links instead?). Does anybody know whether the RP points will be awarded to ongoing projects as well? Although I have the credits marked as RP, the additional points do not seem to be reflected in the totals on the summary page.

According to the USGBC link http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=8156 and identified above the RP credits seem to be focused on reduced water and energy use.

I asked a USGBC representatives about these inconsistencies. They said that they should not be happening. I would send a note to GBCI via the feedback link on LEED Online to inquire about it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm running a couple of projects and found that the credits marked for RP on the scorecard are different for the two projects, even though the projects are in the same building (just two identical floors in the same building! I'll raise it with the GBCI and see what happens.
