参考答案: D

本题解释:
Notes:

Reference: LEED Rating System Selection Policy
A: Most of the time the certification costs will be the same for new construction projects.
B:Regional priority credits are for regions, not for individual rating systems. Each region (zipcode) has six regional priority credits.
C:A project team would not pick LEED for Core & Shell by default.
D:LEED has a 40/60 rule to help project teams decide on a rating system:

If a particular rating system is appropriate for 40% or less of a LEED project building or space, then that rating system should not be used.
If a particular rating system is appropriate for 60% or more of a LEED project building or space, then that rating system should be used.
Project teams with buildings and spaces that do not fall into the scenarios described in a) and b) must independently assess their situation and decide which rating system is most applicable.
