Question 1Construction and demolition debris includes all but which of the following?AConcrete from a demolished buildingBSteel from a demolished buildingCDrywallDRocksNotes:Reference: O&M GlossaryConstruction and demolition (C&D) debris is defined as: Waste and recyclables generated from construction, renovation, and demolition or deconstruction of preexisting structures.Rocks would be part of the excavation of the site area.The steel and concrete are all debris that came from the existing building.Drywall can come from an existing building or as scraps from new construction.Hazardous materials, excavated soil (rocks) and land-clearing debris do not contribute to LEED credits but these items should still be addressed in a construction waste management plan.Question 2What should be included in a construction waste management plan?AAsbestos removalBWhere construction debris will be divertedCErosion controlDThe percent of recycled materialsNotes:The plan should include the goals of the team as well as what will be diverted, where to, and by whom.Hazardous waste is not included and must be disposed of based on local codes.Question 3Show Answer LegendA project team discovers a new way to avoid the heat island effect. How does the LEED certification process reward this new concept?AHeat Island Effect is covered by LEED, so no additional points would be givenBAn innovative performance point would be awardedCAn exemplary performance point would be awardedDAn extra Heat Island Effect point would be awardedNotes:Innovative performance as part of the Innovation in Design or Operations category is meant for green building categories not specifically addressed by LEED. Innovation credits are not awarded for the use of a particular product or design strategy if the technology aids in the achievement of an existing LEED credit.USGBC/GBCI uses the CIR process for cases like this. A CIR could be submitted that specifies an alternate way to earn the Heat Island credit. However only the Heat Island credit would be earned, not an ID point or extra points.Question 4Show Answer LegendWhich of the following does not help achieve a water-efficient landscape?AMicro mistersBGreen roofCPlanting with adaptive plantsDPlanting with native plantsNotes:Micro misters, drip irrigation, native and adaptive plants are all strategies to reduce the quantity of water needed for irrigation.A green roof does not necessarily reduce water needs.Question 5Show Answer LegendWhich of the following projects would not meet the minimum program requirements for certification?AA new building on an office campus located next door to an existing certified buildingBA modular classroom that can be moved to another location on the school propertyCA building project that is three stories highDA new laboratory building that will be located partially undergroundNotes:Reference: GBCI website, Policy ManualStructures must be permanent - a temporary classroom would not qualify.Question 6Show Answer LegendThe addition or increasing the use of graywater in a building can help with:AReducing potable water use in faucetsBReducing stormwater runoffCReducing potable water used by urinalsDReducing rainwater harvestingNotes:Graywater can be used for flushing in water closets and urinals, or process water needs for some systems.Graywater would not be recycled for people to use for hand washing.Question 7Show Answer LegendWhat environmental issue is associated with refrigerants used in HVAC&R systems?ADamage to the Earths ozone layerBIncreased use of fossil fuelsCPollution of water bodiesDIncreased air pollutionNotes:Reference: Treatment by LEED of HVAC RefrigerantsRefrigerants have ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP) due to greenhouse gas emissions. Low values of each are best for refrigerant choices.Question 8Show Answer LegendWhat has the lowest priority in building design?ABuilding codesBFire protection codesCPlumbing codesDLEED Rating SystemNotes:Although the LEED Rating System is critical to a successful green building project, all local, state, and federal codes and regulations have precedent over any LEED standards. A project team cant ignore local codes in favor of a green building strategy. Both must be addressed.Certain locales have their own set of green codes, which must be addressed as well.Question 9Show Answer LegendBiomass is what type of material?ALandfill gasBFly-ashCPlant materialDAnimal wasteNotes:Reference: O&M GlossaryBiomass is plant material converted to heat energy to produce electricity.Question 10Show Answer LegendWhat information is needed to calculate the SRI of a material?AReflectanceBThickness of the materialCEmissivityDThermal gradientNotes:SRI is calculated by using emissivity and reflectance values.Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) is a value that incorporates both solar reflectance and emittance in a single value to represent a materials temperature in the sun. SRI quantifies how hot a surface would get relative to standard black and standard white surfaces. It is expressed as a fraction (0.0 to 1.0) or percentage (0% to 100%). Materials with the highest SRI values are the coolest choices for paving.The higher the SRI number the more the sunlight the material can reflect. Black asphalt has an SRI of 0.Question 11Show Answer LegendWhat is the benefit of installing bicycle racks?AReducing automobile useBInnovation in DesignCReducing heat islandsDCommunitiy connectivityNotes:Bicycle use is one of the ways to promote alternative modes of transportation in the Sustainable Sites section.Question 12Show Answer LegendWhat site features are included in the landscape area?AThe buildingBPaved bicycled pathCWalkway made of recycled rubber tiresDArea with invasive plantsNotes:The landscape area of the site is the total site area less the building footprint, hardscape area, water bodies, etc.The question asked what areasareincluded. Any area that has plants must be included, whether the plants are invasive or not.Even though the area includes invasive plants which are undesirable, they must still be included in the calculation. Invasive plants should be removed from the landscape if possible.Question 13Show Answer LegendHow can regional priority credits be earned?AAddressing green measures or strategies that are more important to a climate or regionBUsing 100% native plants for the sites landscapingCDeveloping an educational or training system that addresses local building issuesDUsing materials that are located within 500 miles of the project siteNotes:Regional credits are bonus points awarded for addressing needs specific to a region.Do not confuse the following terms:Regional Priority Credits- these are bonus points for encouraging teams to attempt LEED credits that address specific environmental priorities in the projects region. Each zipcode in the U.S. has 6 LEED credits that are extra important to that zipcode. A project that achieves one of those credits earns a bonus point, up to a maximum of 4. Here is an example. In Georgia zipcode 30002 saving water is important, because Georgia has had a lot of droughts lately.See what is important in your zipcode here:/DisplayPage.aspx?CMSPageID=1984Regional Materials- building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured, within 500 miles of the project site.Regional Variations- These are only found in reference guides and are specific to each credit. A regional variation outlines concerns specific to the geographic location of the building. For example in some areas there arent great recycling programs, or they may be nonexistent. In regards to construction waste management the regional variation states hey, check your local recycling program before you get to deep into this credit because if you cant recycle anything your chances of earning the credit go down.Question 14Show Answer LegendWhich vehicle is not considered an alternative-fuel vehicle?AEfficient gas-electric hybridBElectric carCNatural gas powered carDGas powered Honda that has achieved a Green Score of 40Notes:Alternative-fuel vehicles use nongasoline fuels such as:electricityhydrogenpropanecompressed natural gasliquied natural gasmethanolethanolefficient gas-electric hybridsHybrid vehicles such as the Toyota Prius are not, of themselves, alternative fuel vehicles - clever use of a battery, motor/generator, merely means that a more efficient but less powerful engine can be used. Essentially all the power comes from petroleum.For LEED, low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles are defined as vehicles that are either classified as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) by the California Air Resources Board or have achieved a minimum green score of 40 on the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) annual vehicle rating guide.A green score of 40 does not imply a fuel efficiency of 40 mpg or more or that the car is powered with alternative fuel. In fact most cars that are eligible for LEED dont come anywhere close to that. The score is based on emissions not on fuel efficiency. For a complete list look at:/leedvehicles%2000-09.xlsQuestion 15Show Answer LegendThe use of native plants on the project site can most assist projects teams with what other sustainable intents?AUsing sustainable materialsBConstruction waste managementCProtecting existing local habitatDReducing stormwater quantityNotes:Native plants are those that grow naturally in an area, or that have been in an area for many years. Native plants require less water, fertilizer, and pest control. These plants can be trees, shrubs, flowers, or grasses. Adaptive plants are non-native plants that perform well in the local climate. Native and adaptive plants require less water, and are more disease resistant because they are suited to the regions usual rainfall, soil, and temperature.Native plants help with both protecting and restoring local ecosystems and habitat.Native plants dont necessarily perform any better at reducing stormwater quantity. A stormwater management plan that included vegetated areas would help, but the plants could be either native or non native and still do the job.Native plants are not a building material, so using sustainable materials would not be a correct choice.Question 16Show Answer LegendWhat helps minimize the space requirements of occupant recycling?AInstalling can crushersBHaving multiple bins for each recycled materialCLocating the recycling bins in the basement of the buildingDHaving onsite cardboard bailersNotes:Can crushers and cardboard bailers help reduce the volume of the materials to be recycled.Multiple bins would increase space requirements, compared to comingled recycling.Locating bins in the basement would deter recycling due to the inconvenience involved.Question 17Show Answer LegendWhat important documents should be created for the purpose of selecting the design team?ARequest for qualificationsBOperations and maintenance manualsCStatement of workDBidding documentsNotes:Reference: Sustainable Building Technical Manual Part II, pg. 6From the guide: The Statement of Work (SOW) includes the project criteria, including green building issues. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) identifies the skills required for participation in the project, including green building expertise.Question 18Show Answer LegendWhat resources are available to team members to find more information about other LEED projects?AUSGBCs monthly magazineBLEED OnlineCUSGBC ChaptersDUSGBC publicationsNotes:Reference: USGBC websiteUSGBC publications provide information about LEED projects.USGBC Chapters are local resources that help spread the word about LEED.USGBC has no monthly magazine.LEED Online is for use by the project team and does not contain information about other projects. LEED Online can be used to show/restrict public information about the project. These public facing details can be viewed using USGBC project search tool on their website.Question 19Show Answer LegendWhat tool is used to determine the target certification level?ALEED Score CardBLEED OnlineCEPAs Target FinderDCIRNotes:The LEED Scorecard helps teams decide what credits to achieve.Question 20Show Answer LegendHow many points are listed for prerequisites on the LEED Scorecard?A1B2C0D18Notes:Prerequisites are required and are not assigned any points.Question 21Show Answer LegendHow can the site boundary differ from the LEED project boundary?AThe site boundary is the property line while the LEED project boundary the portion of the site submitted for LEEDBThe site boundary is the portion of the site submitted for LEED while the LEED project boundary marks where the LEED project endsCThey are exactly the sameDThey can be the same, but site boundary includes only the area submitted for LEEDNotes:USGBC Definition of LEED project boundary - portion of the project site submitted for LEED certification. For single building developments, this is the entire project scope and is generally limited to the site boundary - they are not necessarily the same thing.Question 22Show Answer LegendWhat type of fixture can earn EPAs WaterSense label?AHET dual flush toiletBKitchen sink faucetsCWashing machineDDishwasherNotes:Reference: EPA WaterSenseWaterSense helps consumers identify water efficient fixtures.The WaterSense label applies to showerheads, toilets, urinals, and bathroom sinks.Kitchen sink faucets do not usually come in low flow varieties or with flow restrictors because these would only serve to make it take longer to fill up a pot of water rather than save water.Question 23Show Answer LegendWhat does the Montreal Protocol ban?ACFCsBCoal-fired power plantsCMercury in light bulbsDIncandescent light bulbsNotes:Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are now banned under the Montreal Protocol. Refer to the Treatment by LEED of Environmental Impact of HVAC Refrigerants.Under the Montreal Protocol, CFC production in the United States ended in 1995. To implement the Montreal Protocol, the EPA established Section 608 of the EPA Clean Air Act for regulating the use and recycling of ozone-depleting compounds.Question 24Show Answer LegendA project will include underground parking. This change can have a positive impact on what issue?ACommunity connectivityBPedestrian accessCHeat island effectDParking capacityNotes:The heat island effect would be reduced because the parking has been moved underground.The parking capacity would remain unchanged.Pedestrian access to the surrounding buildings and services would not be affected.The heat island effect is created when developed areas have higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas. An urban heat island effect is caused by sunlight heating up dark colored surfaces such as roads and rooftops. Huge quantities of heat are generated in buildings that have dark rooftops and absorb heat rather than reflect it.LEED defines a heat island as one whose temperatures are at least 10 degrees higher than those of surrounding suburban or rural areas.Question 25Show Answer LegendWhich items are considered pre-consumer recycled content?AExcavated soilBWooden pallets used by a shipping companyCLeftover drywall from a renovationDMagazine overrunsNotes:Pre-consumer content is content from industry scraps that was diverted from the waste stream and used for other purposes. Examples include sawdust, wood shavings, wood chips, and print overruns. Excluded are materials that are re-incorporated into the same manufacturing process that generated it.Print overruns are considered pre-consumer recycled content.Pallets are post-consumer waste since the shipping company did not manufacture them (they used them, they did not make them).Question 26Show Answer LegendWhich of the following strategies have earned innovation in design / operations in the past?AImplementing an educational outreach programBImplementing a green parking designCUsing high volume fly ash in concreteDUsing organic foods in a cafeteriaNotes:Green education is one of the most common innovation points projects often add. These programs outline the green building strategies used in the building. The programs may include self-guided tours or computer kiosks in the main entryway of the building so visitors can learn about the building.Fly ash is a byproduct of burning coal and can be used to offset the quantity of cement used in concrete mix.
