【正文】 ocol, CFC production in the United States ended in 1995. To implement the Montreal Protocol, the EPA established Section 608 of the EPA Clean Air Act for regulating the use and recycling of ozonedepleting pounds. Question 24 Show Answer Legend A project will include underground parking. This change can have a positive impact on what issue? A Community connectivity B Pedestrian access C Heat island effect D Parking capacity Notes: The heat island effect would be reduced because the parking has been moved underground. The parking capacity would remain unchanged. Pedestrian access to the surrounding buildings and services would not be affected. The heat island effect is created when developed areas have higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas. An urban heat island effect is caused by sunlight heating up dark colored surfaces such as roads and rooftops. Huge quantities of heat are generated in buildings that have dark rooftops and absorb heat rather than reflect it. LEED defines a heat island as one whose temperatures are at least 10 degrees higher than those of surrounding suburban or rural areas. Question 25 Show Answer Legend Which items are considered preconsumer recycled content? A Excavated soil B Wooden pallets used by a shipping pany C Leftover drywall from a renovation D Magazine overruns Notes: Preconsumer content is content from industry scraps that was diverted from the waste stream and used for other purposes. Examples include sawdust, wood shavings, wood chips, and print overruns. Excluded are materials that are reincorporated into the same manufacturing process that generated it. Print overruns are considered preconsumer recycled content. Pallets are postconsumer waste since the shipping pany did not manufacture them (they used them, they did not make them). Question 26 Show Answer Legend Which of the following strategies have earned innovation in design / operations in the past? A Implementing an educational outreach program B Implementing a green parking design C Using high volume fly ash in concrete D Using anic foods in a cafeteria Notes: Green education is one of the most mon innovation points projects often add. These programs outline the green building strategies used in the building. The programs may include selfguided tours or puter kiosks in the main entryway of the building so visitors can learn about the building. Fly ash is a byproduct of burning coal and can be used to offset the quantity of cement used in concrete mix. Reducing the parking requirements is covered in LEED in the reduced parking design credits. Organic food use is not considered an innovative design. Question 27 Show Answer Legend Which of the following is not a LEED Rating System? A LEED for Retail B LEED for Small Buildings C LEED for Neighborhood Development D LEED for Schools Notes: LEED for Small Buildings does not exist. Small buildings are covered in the LEED for New Construction rating system for new buildings, or LEED Operations and Maintenance for existing buildings. Question 28 Show Answer Legend What project issues are addressed by guidelines from SMACNA? A VOCs in materials B Refrigerant quantities C Carpet durability D Air quality issues from construction or renovation Notes: The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning National Contractors Association (SMACNA) has a set of indoor air quality guidelines that are used to help manage air quality issues resulting from construction and renovation. Question 29 Show Answer Legend What are attributes of native plants? A Require less pruning B Require less pesticides C Require less sunlight D Require less fertilizer Notes: Native plants are those that grow naturally in an area, or that have been in an area for many years. 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。. You probably don39。Do you want everyone to know the project39。 Question 33 Show Answer Legend What does ASHRAE 552020 specify? A Thermal fort B Indoor air quality C Commuting surveys D Energy performance Notes: ASHRAE 552020 Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy help with defining what makes a fortable indoor environment for occupants. Indoor conditions are considered acceptable if 80% or more of occupants find them acceptable. Question 34 Show Answer Legend How is the quantity of locally harvested and manufactured materials used on a project calculated? A By the amount of leftovers diverted from landfills B By the number of board feet C By the materials39。greenness39。M the building must be in a state of typical physical occupancy. For example, a hotel usually has a typical occupancy of about 60% of the rooms rented out. The Oamp。t meet the intent of the credit. The spirit of the credit is to have a LEED AP work in a significant role. It is possible to thwart the system and put in a LEED AP who never worked at all on the project, or who sat in on only one conference call. It39。 Question 40 Show Answer Legend What must occur if a project includes a CFC phaseout plan? A The CFCbased refrigerants must be replaced with HCFCs B The project must implement green house gas emissions reporting C The annual leaka
