QUESTION: 149

A downtown office building is unable to construct dedicated parking for its occupants. However, the building developer has partnered with a parking garage to offer discounted parking for its occupants. If the discounted parking rate is $450 per month, how much must the rate be for green vehicles for the building to receive one point for Location and Transportation Credit, Green Vehicles?

$90
$225
$360
$405

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

For the building to receive one point for Location and Transportation Credit, Green Vehicles, the rate for green vehicles must be 80% less than the regular parking rate. Therefore, if the discounted parking rate is $450 per month, the rate for green vehicles must be $90 per month (20% of $450).

QUESTION: 150

An existing vacant office building will be completely renovated and new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems will be installed. 20% of the building's gross floor area will be complete at the time of certification. There will be a data center and some retail stores on the ground floor of the building at a future date.
Which rating system is applicable for the building?

LEED BD+C: Retail
LEED BD+C: Data Centers
LEED BD+C: Core & Shell Development
LEED BD+C: New Construction & Major Renovation

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This rating system is suitable for projects where the developer controls the design and construction of the entire core and shell base building, but has no control over the design and construction of the tenant fit-out. Since the building will have a data center and retail stores in the future, but these are not the primary function of the entire building, LEED BD+C: Core & Shell is more appropriate than LEED BD+C: Data Centers or LEED BD+C: Retail.

QUESTION: 152

In the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Low-Emitting Materials, what types of products need to be evaluated for both Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content of the material and VOC emissions of the material?

Flooring
Furniture
Composite wood
Wet applied products

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Furniture is the only type of product that needs to be evaluated for both VOC content and VOC emissions in the LEED BD+C Low-Emitting Materials credit. Flooring, composite wood, and wet applied products only need to meet the VOC content requirements, while other types of products, such as ceilings, walls, thermal and acoustic insulation, and exterior applied products, only need to meet the VOC emissions requirements.
