QUESTION: 13

For a task chair purchased for a healthcare facility, which portion of the product contributes toward Materials and Resources Credit, Furniture and Medical Furnishings?

Wheels, 4% of product by weight, that do not contain lead, mercury, cadmium or antimony
Fabric, 5% of product by weight, with stain resistant treatment containing Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs)
Metal base, 20% of product by weight, which do not contain heavy metals and is not plated with hexavalent chromium
Plastic armrests, 30% of product by weight, with added antimicrobial treatment

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The metal base, 20% of product by weight, which do not contain heavy metals and is not plated with hexavalent chromium, contributes toward Materials and Resources Credit, Furniture and Medical Furnishings. This is because it meets the criteria of Option 1: Minimal Chemical Content, which requires that all components that constitute at least 5%, by weight, of a furniture or medical furnishing assembly must contain less than 100 ppm of at least four of the five chemical groups listed in the option. The other portions of the product either do not meet the 5% weight threshold (wheels), or contain chemicals that are restricted by Option 1 (fabric, armrests).

QUESTION: 15

Which of the following sinks is classified as a private lavatory faucet under Water Efficiency Credit, Indoor Water Use Reduction?

A sink in an office restroom
A sink in a school classroom
A sink in a hotel room bathroom
A sink in a shared office restroom

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A sink in a hotel room bathroom is classified as a private lavatory faucet under Water Efficiency Credit, Indoor Water Use Reduction. According to the LEED v4 BD+C Reference Guide, a private lavatory faucet is defined as "a faucet that is not generally accessible and is used only by the building's occupants and not by the public or visitors" 1. A sink in an office restroom, a school classroom, or a shared office restroom are examples of public lavatory faucets, which have different baseline flow rates and requirements.

QUESTION: 16

An owner has insisted on using a non-native or non-adapted plant species on both the vegetated roof and ground level.
What Sustainable Sites credit will this decision impact the most?

Site Development-Protect or Restore Habita
Site Assessment
Heat Island Reduction
Light Pollution Reduction

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Using a non-native or non-adapted plant species on both the vegetated roof and ground level will impact the Sustainable Sites credit Site Development-Protect or Restore Habitat the most. This credit requires that at least 20% of the site area (excluding building footprint) or 5% of the site area (including building footprint) must be vegetated with native or adapted plants. Non-native or non- adapted plants do not qualify for this credit and may also have negative impacts on the local ecosystem and biodiversity. The other credits are not directly affected by the choice of plant species, although they may have other requirements related to vegetation, such as shading, reflectance, or lighting.
