Question 1

Which of the following methods of documentation is used to demonstrate that basic community resources exist within a specified radius of a project?



Answer : A

A site map is required to show the locations of community resources within the specified radius to meet Location and Transportation credits. It visually demonstrates compliance with LEED requirements for access to diverse uses.


Question 2

Which of the following standard organizations support requirements for the Minimum Energy Performance Prerequisite and the Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance Prerequisite?



Answer : A

ASHRAE sets standards used in LEED prerequisites: ASHRAE 90.1 for energy performance and ASHRAE 62.1 for indoor air quality. These standards guide projects in achieving minimum energy and air quality thresholds required for certification.


Question 3

In which LEED rating category does Built Project fall into?



Answer : D

The 'Built Project' falls under LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED ND), which focuses on sustainable community development and infrastructure.


Question 4

Which of the following three phases comprise the Integrative Process?



Answer : A

The Integrative Process includes Discovery (gathering data), Design and Construction (implementing strategies), and Feedback (evaluating performance). This collaborative approach maximizes building performance.


Question 5

Careful selection of which of the following substances helps manage ozone depletion potential and global warming potential?



Answer : A

Refrigerants significantly impact both ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP). Selecting environmentally friendly refrigerants is essential for meeting LEED Energy and Atmosphere prerequisites.


Question 6

Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) combines reflectivity with:



Answer : B

SRI is a measure of a material's ability to reflect solar heat (reflectivity) and release absorbed heat (emissivity). This index helps evaluate materials for reducing the heat island effect under the Sustainable Sites category.


Question 7

What rating system should a project use if 55% of the project's gross floor area is appropriate to certify under LEED BD+C and 45% is appropriate under LEED O+M?



Answer : D

When a project involves multiple rating systems, the project team must decide the most appropriate one based on the project's scope and primary objectives. LEED provides guidance to facilitate this decision.
