A project elects to pursue Location and Transportation Credit, Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses, Option 2. Diverse Uses because of the project's location in an amenity-rich are

  1. The project features 18 uses overall, including at least four uses in three of the five use type categories.
    What threshold must the project surpass in order to demonstrate exemplary performance for Option 2?
  2. Exemplary Performance is not available for Option 2
  3. 15 uses, including two uses in each of the five categories
  4. 15 uses, including at least one Food Retail and one Community Anchor use
  5. 18 uses, including uses in at least four of the five use type categories

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Exemplary Performance is not available for Option 2 of Location and Transportation Credit, Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses. According to the LEED v4 BD+C Reference Guide, this credit has two options: Option 1. Surrounding Density (5 points) and Option 2. Diverse Uses (1 point). Exemplary Performance is only available for Option 1, and it requires achieving a surrounding density of at least 405,000 square feet per acre (100,000 square meters per hectare)1. Option 2 does not have any Exemplary Performance criteria, and it only requires locating the project within a 1/2-mile (800-meter) walking distance of at least seven diverse uses.

Which of the following strategies can be used to reduce the internal load of a building?

  1. Decreasing lighting power
  2. Oversize the HVAC systems
  3. Install low reflective exterior facade
  4. Increase the insulating value of the glazing and window frame system

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Decreasing lighting power is a strategy that can be used to reduce the internal load of a building. Internal load is the amount of heat generated within a building by its occupants, equipment, and lighting. Reducing lighting power can lower the internal heat gain and thus decrease the cooling demand and energy consumption of the building. Other strategies to reduce internal load include using energy-efficient appliances, natural ventilation, daylighting, occupancy sensors, and shading devices.

Discussing the project goals to help identify the credits and options that the team should attempt is an example of

  1. documenting LEED credits
  2. creating the Basis of Design (BOD)
  3. developing the LEED Scorecard
  4. implementing the Commissioning (Cx) Plan

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Discussing the project goals to help identify the credits and options that the team should attempt is an example of developing the LEED Scorecard. The LEED Scorecard is a tool that shows the potential points that a project can achieve under each credit category of the LEED rating system. Developing the LEED Scorecard involves selecting the most appropriate credits and options based on the project's goals, location, budget, and design. The scorecard helps the project team track their progress and prioritize their actions throughout the design and construction process.

Which rating system is appropriate for a new mixed-use building with 300,000 ft2 (27 871 m2) of residential units, 150,000 ft2 (13 935 m2) hotel and 50,000 ft2 (4 645 m2) of retail space?

  1. Retail
  2. Hospitality
  3. Core and Shell Development
  4. New Construction

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

New Construction is the appropriate rating system for a new mixed-use building with 300,000 ft2 (27 871 m2) of residential units, 150,000 ft2 (13 935 m2) hotel and 50,000 ft2 (4 645 m2) of retail space. According to the LEED rating system selection guidance1, the New Construction rating system applies to buildings that are being newly constructed or going through a major renovation, and that include any of the following use types: office, retail, hospitality, education, residential, warehouse and distribution centers, or data centers. The New Construction rating system can also be used for mixed-use buildings that have more than one use type. Since the project involves new construction of a mixed-use building with residential, hospitality, and retail uses, the New Construction rating system is the most suitable option. The other rating systems are not applicable because they are either specific to one use type (Retail and Hospitality) or to buildings that are not complete at the time of certification (Core and Shell Development).
