Question 1

In addition to the basic requirements for Energy and Atmosphere, Fundamental Commissioning and Verification, which is required to achieve Energy and Atmosphere, Enhanced Commissioning, Option 1?

ADevelop and implement a commissioning plan

BReview the contractor's submittals for compliance with design documents

CVerify the installation and performance of the systems being commissioned

DReview the owner's requirements and the basis of design for clarity and completeness

Answer : B

For Energy and Atmosphere, Enhanced Commissioning, Option 1, one of the additional requirements beyond the basic commissioning is to review the contractor's submittals to ensure they are in compliance with the design documents.This step is crucial to verify that the construction and installation of systems align with the intended design and performance goals1.

Question 2

The WaterSense label or local equivalent requirement in Water Efficiency Prerequisite, Indoor Water Use Reduction ensures that eligible newly installed plumbing fixtures will

Abe advertised as LEED compliant

Bbe both water efficient and high performing

Ccomply with mandatory federal government regulations

Dcomply with all international plumbing system requirements

Answer : B

The WaterSense label, or a local equivalent, is a requirement for the Water Efficiency Prerequisite, Indoor Water Use Reduction in LEED v4 ID+C. This label ensures that eligible newly installed plumbing fixtures are both water-efficient and high-performing.The use of WaterSense labeled products is part of the strategy to reduce aggregate water use by 20% from the baseline12.

Question 3

A project owner requests that additional outside air be provided to the building occupants in order to improve employee health, welfare, well-being and productivity. However, doing so could make it more difficult to achieve which credit?

AIndoor Environmental Quality Credit, Acoustic Performance

BEnergy and Atmosphere Credit, Advanced Energy Metering

CEnergy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance

DIndoor Environmental Quality Credit, Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies

Answer : C

Providing additional outside air can impact the energy consumption of a building, as it may require more energy to heat or cool this air to maintain comfortable indoor conditions.This can make it more challenging to achieve the Energy and Atmosphere Credit for Optimizing Energy Performance, which aims to reduce energy use and associated environmental impacts1.

Question 4

A tenant moves into an existing building where no modifications to the building envelope will be made. What credit would be affected by the visible light transmittance of the existing exterior glazing?

AIndoor Environmental Quality Credit, Daylight

BIndoor Environmental Quality Credit, Quality Views

CMaterials and Resources Credit, Interiors Life-Cycle Impact Reduction

DEnergy and Atmosphere Credit, Fundamental Commissioning and Verification

Answer : A

The visible light transmittance of the existing exterior glazing affects the amount of natural light that penetrates the space, which is directly related to the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit for Daylight. This credit assesses the daylighting conditions in occupied spaces to promote occupants' comfort and well-being.Since no modifications to the building envelope are being made, the existing glazing's light transmittance will influence the daylight credit's performance1.

Question 5

Which of the following can be considered pre-consumer recycled content?

AAluminum cans used to make sheet metal

BPlastic bottles that are used to create upholstery fabric

CSawdust from a lumber mill used to make composite board

DGlass manufacturing scraps (culls) that are used to create new glass

Answer : C

Pre-consumer recycled content refers to materials that have been diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process but have not yet been used by a consumer. Sawdust from a lumber mill, which is used to make composite board, is an example of pre-consumer recycled content because it is a by-product of the manufacturing process that is being repurposed into a new product.

Question 6

Based on the results of a six-hour waste stream study, the team for an Interior Design and Construction Retail project plans to provide dedicated areas for four recyclable waste streams: cardboard, plastic, metal, and paper.

The project is open to the public 10 hours a day, six days a week. Which of the following actions should be the project team's top priority in order to demonstrate the minimum requirements to achieve Materials and Resources Prerequisite, Storage and Collection of Recyclables?

ATake appropriate measures for the safe collection, storage and disposal of batteries

BMake a waste stream projection for the entire year based on the six hours of the waste stream study

CMake a waste stream projection for the entire week, based on the six hours of the waste stream study

DExtend the waste stream study to cover a representative time period of a minimum of 24 hours to identify the top five recyclable waste streams

Answer : D

For the Materials and Resources Prerequisite, Storage and Collection of Recyclables, the project team must demonstrate that they can effectively manage and divert waste from landfills. Extending the waste stream study to a minimum of 24 hours will provide a more accurate representation of the waste generated and the recyclable streams. This is essential to identify the top five recyclable waste streams, which is a requirement for this prerequisite.

Question 7

Which systems must be commissioned to earn Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Fundamental Commissioning and Verification?

AFire suppression

BIrrigation controls

CBuilding Envelope

DDaylighting controls

Answer : C

The Fundamental Commissioning and Verification prerequisite requires commissioning of the building's mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and renewable energy systems and assemblies. While the building envelope is not typically commissioned, it must be included in the owner's project requirements (OPR) and basis of design (BOD), and its design must be reviewed.
