A project team member has excluded a section of land in order to meet the
requirements of one of the LEED credits. Which statement is true about this action?
A. Certain sections of land can be excluded from the site boundary if a responsible
party submits a licensed professional exemption form.
B. This action is not allowed.
C. This action is only allowed if a project narrative is written to explain the exclusion.
D. This action is allowed if the gross floor area of the LEED project building is less
than 2% of the gross land area within the LEED project boundary. - CORRECT
ANSWER-B. This action is not allowed.
This is correct.
Land cannot be excluded for the purposes of complying with a credit/prerequisite.
This is known as gerrymandering.
The coordination of energy and water systems for the Integrative Process credit
should be addressed before which phase?
A. Conceptual design
B. Design development
C. Schematic design
D. Evaluation - CORRECT ANSWER-C. Schematic design
For Integrative Process credit which factors must project teams assess through
simple box energy modeling before completion of schematic design?
A. At least one load reduction strategy and one energy efficiency strategy
B. At least one source of renewable energy
C. At least one way to increase efficiency
,D. At least two potential load reduction strategies - CORRECT ANSWER-D. At least
two potential load reduction strategies
There are seven aspects to consider for energy analysis:
Site conditions
Massing and orientation
Building envelope attributes
Lighting levels
Thermal comfort ranges
Plug and process load needs
Programmatic and operational parameters
Project teams must assess at least two potential strategies for each aspect (so at
least a total of 14 things are being checked)
Which water-budget information provides enough data for use in the Discovery
phase of water-related systems?
A. A week's worth of data showing that 5,000 gallons (18,900 lite
rs) of water will be used
B. Data revealing that the building's indoor fixtures will use 10,000 gallons of water
(37,854 liters)
C. Data indicating that makeup water will be negligible
D. Data concluding that a rainwater collection system will supply 20,000 gallons
(75,708 liters) of water per year - CORRECT ANSWER-A. A week's worth of data
showing that 5,000 gallons (18,900 liters) of water will be used
, Water budgets are associated with a specific period of time (week, month, or year)
and a quantity of water (gallons or liters), both of which are included in this choice.
Water budgets need to include indoor, outdoor, process, makeup water, and on-site
supply water offsets.
A university housing project with 100 one-bedroom apartments has a baseline
parking capacity of 1 parking space/unit from the ITE handbook. The project will earn
1 point under LT Credit Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses but not earn LT Credit
Access to Quality Transit. The project includes off-street parking. How many
preferred parking spaces for carpools must the project include for LT Credit Reduced
Parking Footprint? - CORRECT ANSWER-3 spaces
A 40% reduction is required for projects that DO earn points under either LT Credit
Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses or LT Credit Access to Quality Transit.This
project has earned one of the credits, so a 40% reduction is required.
If any off-street parking spaces are provided, the project must include preferred
parking for carpools for 5% of the total parking capacity. The preferred parking is
calculated AFTER the reductions have been made. 100 spaces baseline from the
ITE handbook X 60% (40% reduction) = 60 total spaces60 spaces X 5% preferred
parking = 3 spaces
A commercial office project is adjacent to an existing movie theater. Which action is
an examples of transportation demand strategies that a project team could
implement to reduce parking demand?
A. Designate employee parking
B. Share the parking lot with the movie theater
C. Install preferred parking for carpools
D. All of the Above - CORRECT ANSWER-B. Share the parking lot with the movie
theater
