For Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Construction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan, which of the following items is required for credit compliance?

  1. MERV 13 (F7) filtration media
  2. Indoor Environmental Quality test results
  3. Photographic documentation
  4. Separating construction waste

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Indoor Air Quality Assessment credit under LEED v4.1 BD+C rating system (Building Design and Construction) seeks to establish better quality indoor air in the building after construction and during occupancy. The credit provides two options for compliance, which cannot be combined. Therefore, Indoor Environmental Quality test results would be required for credit compliance.

Which of the following strategies can be used to achieve a point in Innovation Credit, Innovation, Option 1.Innovation?

  1. Achieve 60% reduction in outdoor water use
  2. Implement an employee engagement and education plan
  3. Use on site renewable energy for 8% of the total energy needs
  4. Purchase green power for 100% of the total project energy use

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Option 1 of the Innovation credit under LEED v4.1 BD+C rating system (Building Design and Construction) allows for achieving significant, measurable environmental performance using a strategy not addressed in the LEED green building rating system. Implementing an employee engagement and education plan could be a unique strategy that promotes sustainability and environmental stewardship, which is not specifically addressed in the LEED rating system.

The LEED AP has identified a pilot credit that is relevant to the project. This would be documented in LEED Online as a(n)

  1. Exemplary Performance for a related credit
  2. Special Circumstances within a related credit
  3. Regional Priority Credit
  4. Innovation Credit

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A pilot credit identified by the LEED AP that is relevant to the project would be documented in LEED Online as an Innovation Credit. Pilot credits are proposed credits that are used to test and evaluate a strategy before they can be considered for incorporation into the LEED consensus process for approval by USGBC membership. All other LEED v4 and v4.1 projects may register for pilot credits and pilot ACPs in LEED Online.

During a review of the HVAC equipment submittal, the Commissioning Authority (CxA) determined that the contractor substituted a higher efficiency piece of equipment.
Which of the following is the priority for the CxA to consider?

  1. Energy meter location
  2. Equipment Maintenance Plan
  3. Owner's Project Requirements
  4. Coordination of other contractors

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) is a document that defines the goals, expectations, and performance criteria of the project, as established by the owner or the owner's representative. The OPR is one of the key deliverables of the commissioning process and serves as the basis for the design, construction, and operation of the building systems. Therefore, the priority for the Commissioning Authority (CxA) to consider when the contractor substitutes a higher efficiency piece of equipment is whether the substitution meets or exceeds the OPR. The CxA should verify that the new equipment is compatible with the OPR and does not compromise the performance, functionality, or reliability of the system. The CxA should also communicate the substitution to the owner and the design team and document the change in the commissioning plan and report.

What are the three phases within the Integrative Process Credit, Integrative Process?

  1. Pre-design, Discovery, Design and Construction
  2. Discovery, Design and Construction, Operations and Feedback
  3. Schematic Design, Design and Construction, Operations and Feedback
  4. Design Charrette, Schematic Design, Operations and Feedback

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Integrative Process credit under the LEED BD+C v4 rating system encourages the coordination of all the project team members, starting from the predesign phase, to discover unique opportunities for project design, enhanced building performance, and green features. The three phases within the

Integrative Process Credit are:
Discovery phase: This involves investigating at least two energy-related and several water-related sustainable design strategies prior to the end of schematic design. Design and Construction (implementation) phase: This requires the project teams to turn their findings into reality.
Occupance, Operations, and Performance Feedback phase: This phase involves the evaluation of the implemented strategies and their effectiveness.
