Which of the following strategies improves cooling tower water efficiency?

• Increase cooling tower fan speed
• Increase the cooling tower blowdown
• Install and maintain a conductivity meter
• Lower set point of water leaving cooling tower

What must the project team do regardless of building type for Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Minimum Energy Performance?

• Compile meter data into daily and weekly summaries
• Use Labs21 Energy Benchmarking tool to calculate minimum energy performance
• Establish an ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager profile
• Benchmark building site energy data of at least three similar buildings

A project owner has hired a Commissioning Authority (CxA) to develop a Commissioning (Cx) Plan which will besubmitted in the LEED application to document Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Existing Building Commissioning -Analysis, Option 1. Existing Building Commissioning. At a minimum, what should be included in the Cx Plan?

• Cx program overview, project team members, and process activities
• Energy Use Breakdown, project team members, and Capital Improvements Measures
• Low and No Cost Improvements, Energy Use Breakdown, and Capital Improvements Measures
• Cx process activities, Water efficiency optimization strategies, and Energy Use Breakdown

The environmentally preferable purchasing policy (EPP) required in the Materials and Resources Prerequisite, Ongoing Purchasing and Waste Policy should address the criteria in which Materials and Resource Credit?

• Purchasing - Lamps
• Solid waste management - Ongoing
• Purchasing - Facility maintenance and renovation
• Solid waste management - Facility maintenance and renovation

One tenant occupying 50% of a commercial office building pursuing LEED® O+M certification has provided purchasing data. The other tenants in the building occupying the remaining 50% have chosen not to provide purchasing data. For credits related to purchasing, the LEED applicant must

• estimate the purchases of the other tenants and assume they are compliant in the Materials and Resources credit calculations
• estimate the purchases of the other tenants and assume they are noncompliant in the Materials and Resources credit calculations
• estimate the purchases of the other tenants and apply the compliance rate from LEED applicant in the Materials and Resources credit calculations
• exclude the purchases of the other tenants from the Materials and Resources credit calculations

For projects not eligible for the ENERGY STAR® rating, the project team could demonstrate compliance with Energyand Atmosphere Prerequisite, Minimum Energy Efficiency Performance by

• conducting an energy audit that develops a commissioning plan for the building's major energy using system
• providing a program demonstrating no or low cost measures of improvement to increase energy efficiency
• developing a master list of findings identifying systems or pieces of equipment including the defects or problemsand proposed solutions
• demonstrating an energy efficiency of at least 25% better than the national average for typical buildings of similar
• type based on energy source

In which of the following ways can a campus project using a Group Approach comply with Water EfficiencyPrerequisite, Building-Level Water Metering?

• Meter water use for each building separately; meter outdoor water use for the associated grounds
• Meter water use for the entire campus (buildings and the associated grounds) using a single meter
• Meter water use for all buildings aggregately with a single meter; outdoor water use for the associated groundsdoes not need to be metered
• Meter water use for all buildings aggregately with a single meter; meter outdoor water use for the associated
• grounds

For Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Advanced Energy Metering, which individual end uses are required to be metered?

• Those that represent at least 10% of the total annual consumption of the building minus plug load use
• Those that represent at least 15% of the total annual consumption of the building minus plug load use
• Those that represent at least 20% of the total annual consumption of the building minus plug load use
• Those that represent at least 25% of the total annual consumption of the building minus plug load use

A tenant is moving into a new space in an existing building. They will fit out this new space and are considering LEED Certification. The tenant is projecting that 80% of the space will be used as office space. They will also have 10% of the space serving as a data center supporting the office. The remaining 10% will be used as a store showcasing and selling their consumer products for direct purchase to the general public. According to the Rating System SelectionGuidance, which rating system would be most applicable for this project?

• LEED Interior Design and Construction: Retail
• LEED Operations and Maintenance: Retail
• LEED Building Design and Construction: Data Centers
• LEED Interior Design and Construction: Commercial Interiors

Which of the following environmental concerns is exacerbated by impervious surfaces?

• Increase in light pollution
• Indoor Environmental Quality decreases
• Retention pond diminishment
• Contaminated runoff harming aquatic life
