LEED Green Associate exam
aeroponics - ANS-The process of growing plants in suspension in an air or mist
environment without the use of soil
use of water mist to provide the plants' roots with nutrients
gardens without a soil system
biogas - ANS-an alternative fuel generated from decomposing organic matter, such as
food and animal waste, which is processed in an anaerobic digester
Provide the electricity and heat needed to power farms
(excess energy produced can be sold back to the traditional energy supplier)
carbon monoxide (CO) - ANS-an odorless, colorless, and toxic gas that is produced
from vehicle exhaust, incomplete combustion of fuel in boilers or furnaces, and
improperly vented appliances
greenhouse gases - ANS-gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. the most abundant is
carbon dioxide (co2) and is release through the burning of fossil fuels and the
manufacturing of cement
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) - ANS-The USGBC LEED
green building program is the preeminent program for the design, construction,
maintenance, and operation of high-performance green buildings
lean process improvement - ANS-the principle of continuously improving any process
through the elimination of waste in every step of manufacturing
LEED AP - ANS-the advanced level of LEED credentials that requires an advanced
knowledge in green building as well as expertise in a particular LEED rating system
LEED Green Associate - ANS-the basic level of LEED credentials that requires a
documented, up-to-date understanding of the most current green building principles and
practices

sulfur dioxide (S02) - ANS-a highly reactive gas that is primarily produced through the
combustion of fossil fuels at power generation plants and other processes at
manufacturing facilities
triple bottom line - ANS-an accounting framework that incorporates the social,
environmental, and economic dimensions of an organization
vertical farm - ANS-a crop grown vertically instead of horizontally on the ground; aka a
farmscraper (farm skyscraper)
self-sustaining when systems of wastewater recycling and rainwater collection are
established
can be built new or erected in abandoned warehouses, buildings, and high-rises in
urban areas
advantages of indoor - ANS--restoration of soil health
-repurposing of derelict buildings
-increased crop production
-elimination of weather-related crop failures
-production of locally grown crops in urban areas
-elimination of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers
-development of year-round crops
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - ANS-harmful organic chemical compounds that
evaporate under normal indoor temperature and pressure conditions and are released
by synthetic materials such as flooring, wall-coverings, furniture and paints, adhesives
and sealants
xeriscaping - ANS-landscaping designed to reduce or eliminate potable water use in
irrigation through the use of native and adapted plant species in plantings to create a
self-sustaining garden
Zero net energy - ANS-a level of efficiency for a high-performance building that
produces all the energy it uses and is so energy efficient, a renewable energy system
can offset all or most of its annual energy consumption
Sustainable Sites - ANS-SS
Water Efficiency - ANS-WE

Energy & Atmosphere - ANS-EA
Materials & Resources - ANS-MR
Indoor Environmental Air Quality - ANS-EQ
LEED history - ANS-first introduced in 1998
LEED Green Associate - ANS-credential created in 2009 as introduction to green
building core concepts (perfect for non engineers)
general knowledge of green design, construction, and operations
Benefits of LEED Green Associate - ANS-for both employer and individual;
a gateway to new opportunities
1) a documented, up-to-date understanding of the most current green building principles
& practices
2) increased employment opportunities and job security
3) enhanced communication skills related to sustainable building
Network Involvement
LEED Green Associate - ANS-membership into a growing network composed of
organizations and individuals who have joined together to achieve long-term economic
benefits of green building, to conserve resources, and to promote the health and welfare
of building occupants and community members
How does the network contribute to green building and sustainability? - ANS-through
teaching, research, leadership, service, and advocacy
can also assist in professional advancement
Specialized communications skills - ANS-not only understanding the basic concepts of
sustainable design, construction, and operation, but can also articulate them effectively
to other LEED professionals, clients, coworkers, employers, and organizations.
