【正文】 s. Native plants require less water, fertilizer, and pest control. These plants can be trees, shrubs, flowers, or grasses. Adaptive plants are nonnative plants that perform well in the local climate. Native and adaptive plants require less water, and are more disease resistant because they are suited to the region39。t great recycling programs, or they may be nonexistent. In regards to construction waste management the regional variation states 39。s landscaping C Developing an educational or training system that addresses local building issues D Using materials that are located within 500 miles of the project site Notes: Regional credits are bonus points awarded for addressing needs specific to a region. Do not confuse the following terms: Regional Priority Credits these are bonus points for encouraging teams to attempt LEED credits that address specific environmental priorities in the project39。s ozone layer B Increased use of fossil fuels C Pollution of water bodies D Increased air pollution Notes: Reference: Treatment by LEED of HVAC Refrigerants Refrigerants have ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP) due to greenhouse gas emissions. Low values of each are best for refrigerant choices. Question 8 Show Answer Legend What has the lowest priority in building design? A Building codes B Fire protection codes C Plumbing codes D LEED Rating System Notes: Although the LEED Rating System is critical to a successful green building project, all local, state, and federal codes and regulations have precedent over any LEED standards. A project team can39。D) debris is defined as: 39。M Glossary Construction and demolition (Camp。R systems? A Damage to the Earth39。s temperature in the sun. SRI quantifies how hot a surface would get relative to standard black and standard white surfaces. It is expressed as a fraction ( to ) or percentage (0% to 100%). Materials with the highest SRI values are the coolest choices for paving. The higher the SRI number the more the sunlight the material can reflect. Black asphalt has an SRI of 0. Question 11 Show Answer Legend What is the benefit of installing bicycle racks? A Reducing automobile use B Innovation in Design C Reducing heat islands D Communitiy connectivity Notes: Bicycle use is one of the ways to promote alternative modes of transportation in the Sustainable Sites section. Question 12 Show Answer Legend What site features are included in the landscape area? A The building B Paved bicycled path C Walkway made of recycled rubber tires D Area with invasive plants Notes: The landscape area of the site is the total site area less the building footprint, hardscape area, water bodies, etc. The question asked what areas are included. Any area that has plants must be included, whether the plants are invasive or not. Even though the area includes invasive plants which are undesirable, they must still be included in the calculation. Invasive plants should be removed from the landscape if possible. Question 13 Show Answer Legend How can regional priority credits be earned? A Addressing green measures or strategies that are more important to a climate or region B Using 100% native plants for the site39。. For example in some areas there aren39。. Question 14 Show Answer Legend Which vehicle is not considered an alternativefuel vehicle? A Efficient gaselectric hybrid B Electric car C Natural gas powered car D Gas powered Honda that has achieved a Green Score of 40 Notes: Alternativefuel vehicles use nongasoline fuels such as: electricity hydrogen propane pressed natural gas liquied natural gas methanol ethanol efficient gaselectric hybrids Hybrid vehicles such as the Toyota Prius are not, of themselves, alternative fuel vehicles clever use of a battery, motor/generator, merely means that a more efficient but less powerful engine can be used. Essentially all the power es from petroleum. For LEED, lowemitting and fuelefficient vehicles are defined as vehicles that are either classified as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) by the California Air Resources Board or have achieved a minimum green score of 40 on the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) annual vehicle rating guide. A green score of 40 does not imply a fuel efficiency of 40 mpg or more or that the car is powered with alternative fuel. In fact most cars that are eligible for LEED don39。The Statement of Work (SOW) includes the project criteria, including green building issues. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) identifies the skills required for participation in the project, including green building expertise.39。s WaterSense label? A HET dual flush toilet B Kitchen sink faucets C Washing machine D Dishwasher Notes: Reference: EPA WaterSense WaterSense helps consumers identify water efficient fixtures. The WaterSense label applies to showerheads, toilets, urinals, and bathroom sinks. Kitchen sink faucets do not usually e in low flow varieties or with flow restrictors because these would only serve to make it take longer to fill up a pot of water rather than save water. Question 23 Show Answer Legend What does the Montreal Protocol ban? A CFCs B Coalfired power plants C Mercury in light bulbs D Incandescent light bulbs Notes: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are now banned under the Montreal Protocol. Refer to the Treatment by LEED of Environmental Impact of HVAC Refrigerants. Under the Montreal Prot
