2024 UPDATED QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
Ammonia is what type of refrigerant? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>a natural refrigerant
An energy simulation model or energy model is generated for what reasons? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Energy simulation model or energy models are used to
provide the anticipated energy consumption of a building and permits a
comparison of energy performance, given proposed energy efficiency measures,
with the baseline.
Are LEED projects allowed to use Halons in the building? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Yes. Projects can earn points for NOT using Halons in fire
suppression systems.
At minimum what materials must a commercial LEED project include in a recycling
program? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, metals,
and plastics
At what stage is it critical to incorporate green building practices into the project? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Pre-design
BIOMASS is a form of what type of energy? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Renewable
energy
By what amount can HEAT ISLANDS elevate temperatures in an urban area? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>10˚F or more
Can a project earn MULTIPLE CERTIFICATIONS? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Yes.
Projects can earn more than one LEED certification depending on the Ratings
Systems.
Can prerequisites earn exemplary performance? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>No. Only
credits can earn exemplary performance.
Can projects outside the US earn REGIONAL PRIORITY credits? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>No. Projects outside the US are not eligible for Regional Priority
credits
,CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) impact what LEED category(s)? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Energy and Atmosphere (EA)
CIRs can be used for what purpose? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>CIRs (Credit
Interpretation Ruling) are used to ask one clear and concise question for
technical and administrative guidance on MPRs, Prerequisites and Credits
CO2 is what type of refrigerant? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>a natural refrigerant
DRIP IRRIGATION is a high-efficiency type of what? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Micro
irrigation
During the site selection process what members should a project team include? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Landscape architects, ecologists, environmental
engineers, and civil engineers, as well as local professionals who can provide
site specific expertise
For LEED, if a project has a CFC-based (Chlorofluorocarbons) refrigeration system and
it is not economically feasible to replace the system, what annual leakage of the existing
system is allowed? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>5%
For multiple building developments who determines the LEED Project Boundary? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The project team.
GREEN POWER is synonymous with what term? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Renewable energy
Green power must be certified by which organization for LEED credit? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Green-e
HARVESTED STORMWATER can be substituted for what types of potable water use? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Landscape irrigation, fire suppression, toilet and urinal
flushing, and custodial uses.
Heat islands impact what LEED category(s)? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Sustainable
Sites (SS) and Energy and Atmosphere (EA). Heat islands increase temperatures
resulting in the need for more air conditioning (and more energy to cool the air).
How are basic services identified for a project? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>By drawing
a half mile circle around the project site and identifying the services within the
radius.
How are innovation in design points for innovative performance measured? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The submitted credit must be quantifiable.
, How can Innovation points be earned? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Doubling the
credit requirements or using a new strategy that is quantifiable.
How can potable water use be reduced for irrigation? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>- use
graywater or stormwater for watering
- use drip irrigation
- install native and adaptive plants
How do you earn EXEMPLARY PERFORMANCE credits? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Teams must meed the performance level defined by the next step in
the threshold progression on credits that allow exemplary performance. For
example, if one point can be earned on a credit by reducing water use by 20% and
another point by reducing water by 30%, then if a team reduces water use by 40%,
it may earn an exemplary performance point. Not all credits allow for exemplary
performance.
How does GERRYMANDERING relate to a LEED project boundary? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Gerrymandering of a LEED project boundary is prohibited: the
boundary may not unreasonably exclude sections of land to create boundaries in
unreasonable shapes fro the sole purpose of complying with prerequisites or
credits.
How does the integrated, whole building approach apply to LEED projects? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The integrated, whole-building approach is the most
effective way to optimize energy efficiency, by collaboration among all team
members, beginning at the start of a project, this method is necessary in
designing building systems.
How is development density calculated? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>By drawing a
radius from the project building.
How is LEED developed? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>LEED Rating Systems are
developed through an open, consensus-based process led by LEED volunteer
committees
How many certification levels are available to a LEED project? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>4
How many LEED AP's are required to participate in a project to earn one Innovation in
Design point? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>At least 1 principal participant of the
project team must be a LEED AP to earn the point. Though a project should have
a LEED AP on staff to assist with he project, it is not required for project
certification.
How many miles from a project site can a material be extracted and still be considered
REGIONAL? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>500 miles is the maximum distance
