The appeal is one possible step of the LEED certified & documentation process. Which of the following does NOT accurately reflect what should be included in an appeal? (Choose 1)
-
The LEED Project Checklist/Scorecard indicating projected prepequisites & credits & the total score for the project
-
Payment in the mount of $250 per credit appealed
-
An overall project narrative including at least 3 project highlights
-
LEED registration information such as project contact, type, size, number of occupants, & date of construction completion
Correct Answer
A. Payment in the mount of $250 per credit appealedExplanation
The correct answer is "payment in the amount of $250 per credit appealed." This is because an appeal is a step in the LEED certification process where the project team challenges a decision made by the certification reviewer. The appeal should include the LEED Project Checklist/Scorecard indicating projected prerequisites and credits, the total score for the project, an overall project narrative with highlights, and LEED registration information. However, there is no requirement to include a payment for each credit appealed in the appeal process.Rate this question:

Which of the following strategies could earn an exemplary performance credit under WE Credit 2: Innovative Wastewater Technologies? (choose 2)
-
Process & non-regulated water use savings equal to at least 5% of the total design regulated water use
-
Process & non-regulated water use savings equal to at least 10% of the total design regulated water use
-
75% reduction in potable water use from a baseline case for sewage conveynce
-
100% reduction in potable water use from a baseline case for sewage conveynce
-
On-site treatment & reuse/ infiltration of 100% of generated wastewater
Correct Answer(s)
A. 100% reduction in potable water use from a baseline case for sewage conveynce
A. On-site treatment & reuse/ infiltration of 100% of generated wastewaterExplanation
An exemplary performance credit under WE Credit 2: Innovative Wastewater Technologies can be earned by achieving a 100% reduction in potable water use from a baseline case for sewage conveyance. This means that no potable water is used for sewage conveyance, resulting in significant water savings. Additionally, the credit can be earned by implementing on-site treatment and reuse/infiltration of 100% of the generated wastewater. This ensures that wastewater is effectively treated and reused or infiltrated, reducing the demand for freshwater resources and promoting sustainable water management practices.Rate this question:

To maximize indoor air quality & chieve EQ Credit 4, Low Emitting materials, a project team specifies low- and zero- VOC content paints & coatings for nearly all painted surfaces. During the construction phase, the team discovers that one of the subcontractors touched up a small portion of a stairwell with an anit-corrosive paint exceeding the VOC content limits estblished in the credit. How can the situation be remedied without losing the point for this credit? (choose 1)
-
Demonstrate the VOC content of the primer used beneath the non-compliant pint is below 5 g/L
-
Strip off the high VOC content paint and replace it with Low emmiting paint
-
Prepare a VOC Budget demonstrating credit compliance
-
The credit cannot be achieved
Correct Answer
A. Prepare a VOC Budget demonstrating credit compliance -

A new library has a total materils cost of $1 million & is working to achieve MR credit 6: Rapidly Renewable materials. Some of the budget allocations for materials include $12,000 for linoleum flooring, $3,000 for zero-VOC paints, $6,500 for bmboo wall panels, and $8,000 for FSC Certified Wood. Which of the following must be included in the materials budget in order to achieve this credit? (choose 1)
-
$6,800 for wheatboard cabinetry
-
$2,500 for cork flooring
-
$6,500 for metal studs with 80% recycled steel
-
$7,000 for high fly sh concrete
-
$6,000 for cotton batt insulation
Correct Answer
A. $6,800 for wheatboard cabinetryExplanation
To achieve MR credit 6: Rapidly Renewable materials, the materials used in the library must be made from rapidly renewable resources. In the given options, the only material that qualifies as rapidly renewable is wheatboard. Therefore, $6,800 for wheatboard cabinetry must be included in the materials budget in order to achieve this credit.Rate this question:
