Question 133

Based on the results of a six-hour waste stream study, the project team for a retail project plans to provide dedicated areas for four easily recyclable waste streams: cardboard, plastic, metal and paper. The project is open to the public 10 hours a day, six days a week. Which of the following actions should be the project team's top priority in order to demonstrate the minimum requirements to achieve Materials and Resources Prerequisite, Storage and Collection of Recyclables?

A.Take appropriate measures for the safe collection, storage and disposal of batteries
B.Make a waste stream projection for the entire year based on the six hours of the waste stream study
C.Make a waste stream projection for the entire week, based on the six hours of the waste stream study
D.Extend the waste stream study to cover a representative time period of a minimum of 24 hours to identify the top five recyclable waste streams

Question 134

During the early stages of a LEED for Schools project, the team was able to reduce the number of lighting fixtures in classrooms by 25% because the project team selected paint color whose light reflectance value was
75% instead of the initially proposed 64% value. This strategy is an example of applying which of the following credits to the project?

A.Innovation Credit, Innovation
B.Integrative Process Credit
C.Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Interior Lighting, Option 1. Lighting Control
D.Materials and Resources Credit, Interiors Life-Cycle Impact Reduction

Question 135

A new athletic facility contains a laundry room which is adjacent to the locker rooms. Which strategy will contribute toward the Interior Cross-Contamination Prevention strategy in Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies?

A.Relocate the laundry facility to the basement
B.Naturally ventilate the laundry space per ASHRAE 62.1-2010
C.Install particle filters, with a MERV of 13 or higher or F7
D.Provide a ventilation system specifically for the laundry facility that has no recirculating air

Correct Answer: D

The strategy that will contribute toward the Interior Cross-Contamination Prevention strategy in Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies is to provide a ventilation system specifically for the laundry facility that has no recirculating air. This is because the laundry facility is a space where hazardous gases or chemicals may be present or used, such as detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners. According to the LEED v4 Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction, the project must "sufficiently exhaust each space where hazardous gases or chemicals may be present or used (e.g., garages, housekeeping and laundry areas, copying and printing rooms), using the exhaust rates determined in EQ Prerequisite Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance or a minimum of 0.50 cfm per square foot (2.54 l/s per square meter), to create negative pressure with respect to adjacent spaces when the doors to the room are closed. For each of these spaces, provide self-closing doors and deck-to-deck partitions or a hard-lid ceiling."1 Therefore, option D is the correct answer. The other options will not prevent cross-contamination from the laundry facility to the locker rooms. Relocating the laundry facility to the basement (option A) may reduce the exposure of the occupants to the laundry chemicals, but it will not eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination to other spaces in the basement. Naturally ventilating the laundry space per ASHRAE 62.1-2010 (option B) may not provide sufficient exhaust to create negative pressure and prevent cross-contamination, especially if the outdoor air quality is poor or the natural ventilation is not well designed. Installing particle filters, with a MERV of 13 or higher or F7 (option C) may improve the air quality in the laundry space, but it will not prevent the hazardous gases or chemicals from escaping to the adjacent spaces through the ventilation system or the gaps in the doors or ceiling.
