NC-2009 RPc1:Regional Priority

Regional Priority SSc7.2 - Heat Island Roof

I have completed the SSc7.2 form...successfully it appears and upload the required documentation. Is there additional documentation for the RP credit? We really need the RP point. The credit form says there are no thresholds for that needs to be met to achieve the RP point. Right now when I check the compliance button it only shows that we have met compliance for 1 point...but not the RP point. Any suggestions?

As every project has six different credits which offer regional priority and each project is only allowed up to 4 extra points, you have to manually select which credit you want to attempt the regional priority on. You need to do this from the Credit Information Tab within the individual credit (the page that initially opens when you click on a credit from the Scorecard). On that page, scroll down the the "Thresholds" seciton and make sure that you click the "Attempt Regional credit" checkbox. Once you resave the form, and go back to the Scorecard Tab, you should see the additional point being attempted. The LOv3 Help Content has some screenshots which might be helpful (https://www.leedonline.com/irj/go/km/docs/documents/usgbc/leed/config/common/LOv3Help/Regional_Priority_Credits_.htm).

This has been done. It shows the additional credit being attempted as shown in all the screen shots. Is the RP point awarded once the credit is mark complete and submitted for review?

Yes - You have to achieve the base credit before you can get the additional RPC point. So the additional RPC point will only show as "Attempted" until the credit has been submitted, reviewed, and approved. Provided that you achieve the base credit (in this case SSc7.2) and have met any additional threshold requirements for your RPC (such as in cases where the RPC requires you to use Path X or achieve at least XX%), the addditional point would be awarded during that review phase along with the regular point associated with the base credit. Hope that helps to clarify.
