LEED Alternative Compliance Paths (ACPs) increase the applicability of LEED for projects around the world by providing additional pathways to demonstrate compliance with the LEED credits that are traditionally more challenging for projects outside of the U.S.
LEED has become a common language of best practices in buildings around the world. In LEED v4, there is greater recognition of regional context with the incorporation of regional and local equivalent standards or programs usable to achieve the same credit intent. Additionally, metric units have been included in all tools and resources.
