Vertical Farm - ANS-A crop grown vertically instead of horizontally on the ground
Also known as a farmscraper
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) - ANS-Harmful organic chemical compounds that
are emitted from certain solids or liquids that evaporate under normal indoor
atmospheric conditions for temperature and pressure and may have short-term and
long-term adverse health effects and can be 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 planting of native and adapted species of vegetation and the use
of other water-conserving techniques

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
Plant Drought-Resistant Landscaping - ANS-An architect wishes to maximize water
efficiency in a high-profile, mixed-use development located in a drought area
What would be the most effective way to achieve this?
Public Transportation, Riding Bicycles, and Walking - ANS-What are three ways that
people can get to work that will help reduce carbon emissions associated with
commuting?
Reverse Contribution to Global Climate Change - ANS-Contributing to which impact
category will net a project team the highest number of points for LEED certification?
Knowledge Domains - ANS-The content areas of the LEED Green Associate Exam that
reflect the rating systems' credit categories and what an exam candidate needs to know,
including concepts such as the LEED process, integrative strategies, LEED credit
categories, and project surroundings and public outreach
LEED Core Concepts Guide - ANS-A guide that introduces green building fundamentals
to serve as a foundation for more advanced study of green building and the LEED rating
systems. It is one of the primary references candidates should study for the LEED
Green Associate Exam

v4 Green Associate Candidate Handbook that an exam candidate should study as a
basis for test day success
Task Domains - ANS-The content areas of the LEED Green Associate exam that reflect
the tasks necessary to perform the LEED safely and effectively, including concepts such
as LEED project and team coordination, LEED certification process, analyses required
for LEED credits, and advocacy and education for adoption for LEED rating systems
