QUESTION: 73

Which of the following is a leadership extraction practice that rewards projects for choosing materials with closed-loop recycling and take-back programs in LEED?

Material reuse
Bio-based elements
Extended producer responsibility
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) wood products

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

. Extended producer responsibility
Extended producer responsibility is a leadership extraction practice that encourages manufacturers to take back their products or packaging at the end of their useful life and recycle them in a closed- loop system. This reduces the environmental impacts of extraction, transportation, and disposal of raw materials. LEED rewards projects for choosing materials that have extended producer responsibility programs or policies in place.

QUESTION: 74

Which strategy should be employed to improve daylighting when designing a new building?

Increase the building depth
Increase the number of skylights
Increase the height of interior partitions
Decrease the number of exterior light shelves

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

. Increase the number of skylights
Skylights are openings in the roof or ceiling that allow natural light to enter the building. They can improve daylighting by providing more uniform and diffuse illumination, reducing the need for artificial lighting, and enhancing the visual comfort and well-being of occupants. Skylights can also reduce cooling loads by minimizing solar heat gain through the roof. However, skylights must be designed carefully to avoid glare, overheating, and heat loss issues.

What are the requirements of commercial projects for long-term bicycle storage under Location and Transportation, Bicycle Facilities - Bicycle Storage and Shower Rooms?

Provide for at least 5% of all regular building occupants, with no less than four storage spaces per building
Provide for at least 10% of all regular building occupants, with no less than five storage spaces per building
Provide for at least 15% of all regular building occupants, with no less than 10 storage spaces per building
Provide for at least 25% of all regular building occupants, with no less than 10 storage spaces per building

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Provide for at least 10% of all regular building occupants, with no less than five storage spaces per building.
According to the LEED v4.1 Bicycle Storage Requirements1, commercial projects must provide long- term bicycle storage for at least 10% of all regular building occupants, with no less than five storage spaces per building. Long-term bicycle storage is defined as secure, enclosed, and weather-protected spaces that are intended for use by occupants who make regular trips to the project building. Examples of long-term bicycle storage include lockers, cages, rooms, or dedicated areas within buildings. The purpose of this requirement is to encourage the use of bicycles as a sustainable mode of transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption.

QUESTION: 76

A Healthcare Project is constructing a new building adjacent to an existing LEED Certified hospital facility. The new building's location is on the same hospital campus as the certified facility. The entire hospital campus was analyzed with an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) as part of the certified facility's project scope. The new building project needs to complete a new Phase I ESA if

the Phase II ESA uncovers suspected contamination
contamination was identified by the certified facility
the certified facility's Phase I ESA is older than 180 days
the local equivalent standard is more stringent than ASTM E1527-05

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

. the local equivalent standard is more stringent than ASTM E1527-05 According to the LEED v4 Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction, a Phase I ESA is required for all projects, except for those located on previously developed land that has not been used for industrial, commercial, or agricultural purposes. The Phase I ESA must follow the ASTM E1527-05 standard or a local equivalent. However, if the local equivalent is more stringent than the ASTM standard, then the project must comply with the local equivalent. Therefore, if the new building project is located in a jurisdiction that has a more rigorous standard for Phase I ESA than ASTM E1527-05, then it must complete a new Phase I ESA, regardless of the previous ESA done for the certified facility.
