Question 1

Which strategy should be employed to improve daylighting when designing a new building?

A.Increase the building depth
B.Increase the number of skylights
C.Increase the height of interior partitions
D.Decrease the number of exterior light shelves

Question 2

When using the Integrative Process, what is the best way for the LEED AP to assess the impact of indoor and outdoor water consumption in a Building Design and Construction project?

A.Perform a preliminary water budget analysis before the completion of schematic design
B.Install permanent metering on both the water sources and the waste water leaving the site
C.At the completion of schematic design, count the fixtures and apply the maximum flow rate
D.Estimate consumption by using 20 gal. per day (76 I per day) for each Full Time Equivalent (FTE) scheduled to occupy the building

Question 3

A commercial new construction project consists of mixed space usage. When deciding which LEED rating system to use, the LEED AP should follow which of the following rules?

A.If a rating system is appropriate for less than 50% of the gross area of the LEED project space then the rating system must not be used
B.If a rating system is appropriate for more than 50% of the gross floor area of LEED project space, then that rating system must be used
C.If a rating system is appropriate for 30% to 60% of the gross floor area, the project team must independently assess their situation and decide which rating system is most applicable
D.If a rating system is appropriate for 40% to 60% of the gross floor area, the project team must independently assess their situation and decide which rating system is most applicable

Question 4

A project team member has prepared a map and accompanying table as documentation for the Location and Transportation Credit. Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses. Option 2. Diverse Uses. The map includes the location of each diverse use. the location of the project and the main entrance of the building. The table includes the distance to each use. the name of each use and the category of each use The team lead reviews the documentation and notes an important missing item. Which of the following is the most important item to add to the documentation?

A.A description of each use
B.The location of parking lots near each use
C.Walking routes from the project to each use
D.A calculation of the expected number of project occupants who will visit each use

Question 5

A new school with a 20 car parking lot has set aside four preferred parking spaces for green vehicles. What else must the project team provide to achieve Location and Transportation Credit, Green Vehicles?

A.Nothing; the project team has met the credit requirements
B.Provide secure bike racks for 5% of the building occupants
C.Provide an additional parking space for a low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicle
D.Provide qualifying electrical vehicle supply equipment in 2% of all parking spaces

Correct Answer: D

Explanation
The correct answer is D, provide qualifying electrical vehicle supply equipment in 2% of all parking spaces.
According to the LEED v4 Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction, the Location and Transportation Credit, Green Vehicles, requires that projects provide preferred parking for green vehicles for
5% of the total vehicle parking capacity of the site. Green vehicles are defined as vehicles that achieve a minimum green score of 40 on the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) annual vehicle rating guide1 In addition, projects must provide one of the following:
Install alternative-fuel fueling stations for 3% of the total vehicle parking capacity of the site.
Alternative fuels are defined by the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992 and include biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas, and propane.
Install electrical vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) for 2% of the total vehicle parking capacity of the site. EVSE must be Level 2 or higher as defined by SAE International's J1772 standard.
Provide a discounted parking rate of at least 20% for green vehicles. The discounted rate must be available to all customers (not limited by time of day or user groups), publicly posted at the entrance of the parking area, and included in all marketing materials for the parking facility1 In this case, the project team has provided preferred parking for green vehicles for 20% of the total vehicle parking capacity of the site (4 out of 20 spaces), which exceeds the minimum requirement of 5%. However, they still need to provide one of the additional options listed above to achieve the credit. The most feasible option for a school project with a small parking lot would be to install EVSE for 2% of all parking spaces, which would be equivalent to one space. Therefore, answer D is correct.
The other answers are incorrect because they do not meet the credit requirements. Answer A is incorrect because providing preferred parking alone is not sufficient to achieve the credit; one of the additional options must also be provided. Answer B is incorrect because providing bike racks is not relevant to this credit, which focuses on green vehicles; bike racks are part of another credit, Location and Transportation Credit, Bicycle Facilities. Answer C is incorrect because providing an additional parking space for a low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicle would not increase the percentage of preferred parking above 20%, which is already more than enough; moreover, low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles are defined differently from green vehicles in LEED v4 and have their own credit, Location and Transportation Credit, Reduced Parking Footprint1 References: 1: LEED v4 Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction, Location and Transportation Credit: Green Vehicles, page 467.
