QUESTION: 41

To determine the area of interior nonstructural elements, the LEED AP will include which one of the following in the calculation for Materials and Resources Credit, Interiors Life Cycle Impact Reduction, Option 1. Interior Reuse?

Up to three layers of a floor assembly
Items that are demolished and not replaced
The interior side of exterior windows and doors
Hazardous materials that are remediated as part of the project

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

For the Materials and Resources Credit, Interiors Life Cycle Impact Reduction, Option 1. Interior Reuse, the calculation includes items that are demolished and not replaced. This is because the credit aims to encourage the reuse of interior nonstructural elements to reduce the need for new materials and minimize waste, thus contributing to a reduction in life cycle impacts.

In the context of LEED AP Interior Design + Construction, especially under Materials and Resources Credit for Interiors Life Cycle Impact Reduction, Option 1. Interior Reuse, the aim is to encourage the reuse of interior nonstructural elements to reduce the need for new materials and minimize waste. The calculation for this credit involves determining the area of interior nonstructural elements that are reused. Items that are demolished and not replaced are included in this calculation because their non-replacement implies a reduction in the demand for new materials, thereby contributing to resource conservation and waste minimization. This approach aligns with the LEED principles of sustainable materials management and waste reduction. It's important to note that the calculation excludes elements that are not part of the interior nonstructural scope, such as exterior windows, doors, and structural floor assemblies. Hazardous materials remediated as part of the project are also excluded, as their handling is governed by specific environmental and health safety regulations.

QUESTION: 42

What primary role does the LEED AP have during the LEED certification process?

Runs weekly construction meetings
Authors the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) document
Determines the LEED certification status of the project
Helps project team members understand the rating system

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The primary role of a LEED AP during the LEED certification process is to assist project team members in understanding the LEED rating system. A LEED AP possesses advanced knowledge in green building practices and expertise in a specific LEED rating system, which enables them to facilitate the project's certification process by guiding the team through the requirements and credits of the LEED system.

Reference:

Information about the role of LEED AP can be found in the LEED professional credentials section on the U.S. Green Building Council website.
Additional details on the responsibilities and benefits of being a LEED AP are available in resources provided by the Green Building Certification Institute and other green building education platforms.

QUESTION: 43

For a retail LEED Interior Design and Construction project, the products include 25% by cost Cradle to Cradle v3, Gold certified products, and 25% by cost products assessed with the GreenScreen List Translator.
Which of the following Materials and Resources and Innovation credits can the project team achieve?

Materials and Resources Credit, Interiors Life-Cycle Impact Reduction Option 3. Design for Flexibility and Innovation Credit, Exemplary Performance
Materials and Resources Credit, Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - Material Ingredients, Option
1. Material Ingredient Reporting and Innovation Credit, Exemplary Performance
Materials and Resources Credit, Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - Material Ingredients, Option
2. Material Ingredient Optimization and Innovation Credit, Exemplary Performance
Materials and Resources Credit, Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - Sourcing of Raw Materials,
Option 2. Leadership Extraction Practices and Innovation Credit, Exemplary Performance

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In a LEED Interior Design and Construction project, the inclusion of 25% by cost Cradle to Cradle v3, Gold certified products, and 25% by cost products assessed with the GreenScreen List Translator aligns with the requirements for Material Ingredient Optimization. This option rewards projects for using products that document their material ingredient optimization to minimize the impact and improve human and ecological health. Achieving this with a significant percentage of the total product cost can lead to exemplary performance recognition.

QUESTION: 44

During value engineering a project team is looking to see if they can reduce the number of thermal comfort controls. The project's LEED AP notices there are thermostats in the public restroom and says they can be eliminated because public restrooms are considered

unoccupied space
densely occupied space
shared multioccupant space
nonregularly occupied space

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

In the context of LEED AP Interior Design + Construction, public restrooms are considered nonregularly occupied spaces. This classification is based on the nature of the space usage, which does not require continuous thermal comfort controls due to the intermittent and brief occupancy. Therefore, thermostats in such spaces can be eliminated during value engineering to optimize resource allocation without compromising the comfort of regular occupants.
