What standard should an engineer use when establishing minimum ventilation rates for a new mechanically ventilated space to earn Indoor Environmental Quality, Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance?

• Local building code
• ASHRAE 62.1-2010
• International Mechanical Code 2012
• The ventilation code requiring the greatest volume of outside air

When planning a water-efficient landscape design, the designer should consider including

• potable water
• sprinkler system
• native vegetation
• permeable pavement

Landscape irrigation practices consume large quantities of potable water. By evaluating the project's outdoor water budget and irrigation water demand early in the design process in Water Efficiency Prerequisite, Outdoor Water Use Reduction project teams will be able to

• earn Water Efficiency Credit, Water Metering
• earn Sustainable Sites Credit, Rainwater Management
• estimate and optimize water use in landscape designs
• estimate and optimize water use in outdoor fountains and pools

Which of the following should be analyzed when pursuing an Integrative Design Process focusing on Energy-RelatedSystems?

• Site conditions
• Potable water availability
• Acoustic performance of the project
• Applicability of Green Vehicles to the project

The LEED AP is leading the first design charrette for a new LEED project with the project's owners. What document should be used to record the project goals to be used throughout the design of the project?

• Owner's Project Requirements (OPR)
• Owner's list of wants and needs
• Criteria for contractor selection
• Basis of Design (BOD)

Which is a benefit of earning Regional Priority credits?

• The LEED project can achieve more sustainable outcomes by recognizing the issues that are a priority in the project's location
• The context of the project's location is not addressed, allowing the project team to focus on the building's priority issues
• The project's operations are considered separately from design and construction, allowing the project team to focus on regional issues
• The LEED project is able to skip a review phase by considering the issues that are a priority in the project's location

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?

• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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

Which of the following variables must be included in the calculations for Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Quality Views?

• Ceiling heights
• Building furniture
• Movable partitions
• Permanent interior obstructions

A school wants to incorporate natural daylighting in classrooms on all sides of the building. What can the project design team explain to the school district about how this strategy will affect the operational energy cost?

• Heat gain will reduce the air conditioning load
• Having the lights off reduces the electricity use
• Reduction in lighting fixture use reduces re-lamping
• There would be passive solar heating benefits to all of the classrooms
