Question 1
The WaterSense label or local equivalent requirement in Water Efficiency Prerequisite, Indoor Water Use Reduction ensures that eligible newly installed plumbing fixtures will
Question 2
A project owner requests that additional outside air be provided to the building occupants in order to improve employee health, welfare, well-being and productivity. However, doing so could make it more difficult to achieve which credit?
Question 3
A tenant moves into an existing building where no modifications to the building envelope will be made. What credit would be affected by the visible light transmittance of the existing exterior glazing?
Answer : A
Question 4
Which of the following can be considered pre-consumer recycled content?
Answer : C
Pre-consumer recycled content refers to materials that have been diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process but have not yet been used by a consumer. Sawdust from a lumber mill, which is used to make composite board, is an example of pre-consumer recycled content because it is a by-product of the manufacturing process that is being repurposed into a new product.
Question 5
Using the scale of 0 = no view and 5 = maximum view, what is the view factor in the diagram below, as defined in Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Quality Views?
Answer : C
The view factor is a measure used in LEED to quantify the quality of views for occupants within a space. In the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Quality Views, the rating scale for view factors ranges from 0 (no view) to 5 (maximum view). In the provided diagram, it appears that the space has large windows that provide ample daylight and a view to the outside, which is a key consideration for quality views.
Although the specific outdoor view cannot be determined from the diagram alone, the presence of large windows and the potential for expansive views suggests a high view factor. View Factor 4 is typically assigned to spaces where the view window head height is at least 7 feet 6 inches above the floor, allowing occupants a clear line of sight to the outdoors. This would contribute significantly to the occupants' connection with the outdoor environment, thus scoring higher on the scale.
It is important to note that the exact view factor cannot be precisely determined without additional context regarding the actual visible content outside the windows. However, based on the scale provided and typical LEED scoring, View Factor 4 seems appropriate given the sizeable windowed areas depicted, assuming they provide a clear and unobstructed view to the exterior.

Question 6
The site of a new open-plan office building is located near a highway. The acoustic consultant is investigating the possibility of using sound masking system to cover the noise impact from the busy road. If sound masking is found to be a feasible option, the noise design of the project can have a maximum limit up to
Answer : B
Question 7
Which standard reference can be used to find minimum ventilation rates?
Answer : D
The standard reference used to find minimum ventilation rates for LEED ID+C projects is ASHRAE 62.1-2010. This standard provides the necessary guidelines for ensuring acceptable indoor air quality and specifies the minimum ventilation rates required to achieve this.
