A building in a warm climate will not have operable windows or natural ventilation due to
a limited number of days each year that these strategies would be beneficial. Which of
the following would help the project team give ventilation control to occupants? -
Answer-Adjustable air diffusers help with ventilation control.
Thermostats help with temperature control. Thermostats can be provided for zones to
help refine the temperature for different areas.
/.A demand response (DR) event is triggered by the ____. - Answer-Utility company
/.A developer is planning a mixed-use project that will include 1,000 single family
homes, office space, retail, and townhomes. Which of the following neighborhood
design strategies help promote community connectivity? - Answer-Street-grid patterns
/.A healthcare project team in the pre-design phase is discussing ways to protect patient
privacy. Which of the following strategies would help achieve this goal? - Answer-Using
sound isolation
/.A laboratory project requires a lot of special-use equipment and systems to keep the
areas inside sterile. What would a sub-contractor need to safely handle a product during
installation? - Answer-A Material safety data sheet (MSDS): are intended to provide
workers with procedures to safely handle a product during fabrication, installation, or in
a life-safety event.
/.A material that has met which of the following standards would contribute to material
ingredient optimization? - Answer-With Building Disclosure and Optimization remember
there are two parts - the disclosure and the optimization.
GreenScreen & Cradle-to-Cradle Certified.
For international projects, REACH Optimization can be used instead.
/.A member company wants to display its USGBC member logo. What would be an
appropriate use for the USGBC member logo? - Answer-On company letterhead. Use of
the USGBC member logo is limited to member companies.
/.A new building tenant is leasing 2-stories in an existing 10-story building. What rating
system would be appropriate for the project? - Answer-LEED Interior Design and
Construction: Commercial Interiors is for interior spaces that are a complete interior fit-
out.
, /.A project administrator needs specific information on an interior paint used in a tenant
space. The information on the VOCs in the paint need to be uploaded into LEED Online.
Where would this information be found? - Answer-MSDS
/.A project owner wants to create a healthy work environment for employees. To help
ensure indoor air quality, which of the following should be monitored? - Answer-Carbon-
dioxide levels & Outdoor airflow.
Ventilation takes fresh outdoor air and pushes it inside. The monitors on the outside
measure how much air the system is moving to make sure it is adequate.
/.A project team is trying to maximize the number of points they can achieve for their
LEED project by identifying synergies. Which elements, when combined, would best
achieve this goal? - Answer-The big three when it comes to saving energy and
optimizing lighting is daylighting combined with occupancy sensors and individual
occupant controls.
Daylighting, of course, reduces the energy required for lighting. By having daylighting
sensors, the interior lighting levels are adjusted automatically to further save energy by
increasing artificial lighting only in areas that need it. If a space is unoccupied,
occupancy sensors can turn off artificial lighting. Finally, individual task lighting lets each
occupant turn on lights for their own comfort.
/.A study by the New Buildings Institute found that in green buildings, average energy
use intensities (energy consumed per unit of floor space) are _____ than in typical
buildings - Answer-24%
/.A team for a school project is reviewing potential site locations and building designs.
What would have the greatest impact on improving test scores for the students? -
Answer-Orienting the building to maximize daylighting.
Studies show that increasing daylighting in school classrooms can increase test scores
by 7% to 18%.
/.A three-year aged SR value - Answer-a performance measurement of
roofing/hardscape materials. It is 'a solar reflectance or solar reflectance index rating
that is measured after three years of weather exposure.
/.Alternative Compliance Paths - Answer-allow international projects to identify
equivalent means of demonstrating compliance to the credit requirements. For example,
where an equivalent country's reference standard exists, an ACP can allow for the use
of that standard.
/.An environmental product declaration (EPD) for LEED must conform to which of the
following standards? - Answer-ISO:
The International Standards Organization (ISO) standards are used for EPDs in LEED.
