| Each project may have regional priorities that have additional importance to the project because of its geographic location. Factors related to location may influence a project's priorities and applicable strategies. This ranges from direct climate conditions (e.g., amount of sunlight received, average temperature, risk of flooding) to nearby amenities (e.g., access to public transit, areas of natural habitat) to the energy sources that power the region's electricity grid (e.g., fossil fuels vs. renewable sources). | 每个项目都可能具有区域优先级，这些优先级因项目的地理位置而具有特别的重要性。与位置相关的因素可能影响项目的优先级和适用策略。这包括从直接的气候条件（如接收到的阳光量、平均温度、洪水风险）到附近的便利设施（如公共交通可达性、自然栖息地）再到为该地区电网供电的能源类型（如化石燃料与可再生能源）。 |

| - Strategies that respond to challenges: Prioritize shade structures and tree cover to reduce urban heat island effect | - 应对挑战的策略：优先设置遮阳结构和树木覆盖以减少城市热岛效应 |
| • Regional circumstance: High-density urban location | • 区域情况：高密度城市位置 |
| - Strategies that leverage strengths: Minimize parking if public transit is nearby | - 利用优势的策略：如果附近有公共交通，则尽量减少停车位 |
| - Strategies that respond to challenges: Seek ways to provide pockets of natural habitat | - 应对挑战的策略：寻求提供小块自然栖息地的方式 |
| • Regional circumstance: Low-density rural location | • 区域情况：低密度乡村位置 |
| - Strategies that leverage strengths: Avoid construction on environmentally sensitive areas | - 利用优势的策略：避免在环境敏感区域施工 |
| - Strategies that respond to challenges: Provide shuttle service that connects to the closest public transit | - 应对挑战的策略：提供连接最近公共交通的班车服务 |
| • Regional circumstance: Climate with heavy precipitation | • 区域情况：降水充沛的气候 |
| - Strategies that leverage strengths: Capture rainwater for reuse onsite | - 利用优势的策略：收集雨水以供现场再利用 |
| - Strategies that respond to challenges: Design parts of the site to flood safely while protecting buildings and sensitive areas | - 应对挑战的策略：在保护建筑和敏感区域的同时，设计部分场地以安全地承受洪水 |
