3.3 LEED的结构

English（英文原文）	中文（中文翻译）
The LEED rating system is made up of two elements: Prerequisites, which are required elements or green building strategies that must be included in any LEED-certified project; and Credits, which are optional elements that project teams can elect to pursue to gain points toward LEED certification.	LEED 评级体系由两个要素组成：先决条件（Prerequisites），即任何 LEED 认证项目必须包含的必备要素或绿色建筑策略；得分项（Credits），即项目团队可选择追求的可选要素，以获取 LEED 认证的分数。
Types of LEED Prerequisites and Credits: • Prerequisites（先决条件）：Required elements, all of which must be met before a project can be considered for LEED certification. • Core Credits（核心得分项）：Specific actions a project may take. All Core Credits are voluntary, but each level of LEED certification requires that certain thresholds of credits used must be met. • Innovation Credits（创新得分项）：Bonus credits given for exemplary performance beyond Core Credit performance levels or implementation of innovative actions that confer significant environmental benefits not covered in the rating system. • Regional Priority Credits（区域优先得分项）：Bonus credits that acknowledge the importance of local conditions in determining best environmental design, construction, and operations practices.	LEED 先决条件与得分项的类型： • 先决条件（Prerequisites）：必备要素，项目必须全部满足才能被考虑进行 LEED 认证。 • 核心得分项（Core Credits）：项目可以采取的具体行动。所有核心得分项都是自愿的，但每个 LEED 认证级别要求达到一定的得分项使用门槛。 • 创新得分项（Innovation Credits）：对于超越核心得分项表现水平或实施评级体系中未涵盖的、具有显著环境效益的创新行动而给予的奖励分数。 • 区域优先得分项（Regional Priority Credits）：承认当地条件在确定最佳环境设计、建造和运营实践中的重要性的奖励分数。
All LEED prerequisites and credits include: An intent that describes why it is included in LEED, and Requirements that describe what the project must do to comply. In order for a project to achieve LEED certification, it must meet all prerequisite requirements and earn a minimum number of points by meeting credit requirements. To supplement the rating system itself, USGBC also provides reference materials with the necessary background information to aid project teams in understanding the LEED requirements.	所有 LEED 先决条件和得分项都包含：描述其为何被纳入 LEED 的意图（Intent），以及描述项目必须做什么才能符合要求的要求（Requirements）。项目要获得 LEED 认证，必须满足所有先决条件要求，并通过满足得分项要求获得最低分数。作为评级体系本身的补充，USGBC 还提供包含必要背景信息的参考材料，帮助项目团队理解 LEED 要求。
