Right sizing is an important factor that will affect the energy demand of a
project. The bigger the building, the higher the energy demand; therefore,
projects should not be developed larger than their needs. In the LEED for
Homes rating system, points are adjusted in all catefories according to the
square footage of the home; thus, homes that are bigger need to earn more
points to achieve a LEED certification, while smaller sized homes can become
LEED-certified by earning fewer points. Other LEED rating systems do have not
size adjustments. This adjustment factor is called the:
~~> home size adjustment factor
Which level of LEED BD+C certification can a project reveive by meeting all
the Minimum Program Requirements (MPRs), meeting all the prerequisites
except one, and additionally earning 75 points?
~~> cannot receive LEED certification
