Inquiry
EPA created a Builder Option Package for the Pacific Northwest that is very similar to the LEED for Homes prescriptive path. If a project meets the regional BOP, can the prescriptive pathway be used in LEED for Homes, even if the project but does not meet all of the prerequisites in the prescriptive pathway?
Ruling
No - in order to use the prescriptive pathway in LEED for Homes, every prerequisite in EA 2 through 11 must be met. See EA 01-14 for the policy on certifying homes that only meet a regional BOP.
