Q

For a project with open space what minimum rainfall must be managed?

Study These Flashcards
A

95th Percentile

25
How long must a project commit to sharing metering data with USGBC and when must the sharing begin?
A five-year period beginning on the date the project accepts LEED certification or typical occupancy, whichever comes first
26
What is a BUG rating?
A luminaire classification system that classifies luminaires in terms of backlight (B), uplight (U), and glare (G) (taken from IES/IDA Model Lighting Ordinance). BUG ratings superside the former cutoff ratings.
27
What is the contract period for demand response?
A minimum of one year with the intention of multiyear renewal
28
What does not qualify as material diverted from disposal for C&D Waste Management Planning?
Alternative daily cover (ACD) and land-clearing debris
29
What is Technical Release 55 (TR-55)?
An approach to hydrology in which watersheds are modeled to calculate storm runoff volume, peak rate of discharge, hydrographs, and storage volumes, developed by the former USDA Soil Conservation Service
30
What is load shedding?
An intentional action by a utility to reduce the load on the system. Load shedding is usually conducted during emergency periods, such as capacity shortages, system instability, or voltage control
31
How can reductions be achieved beyond 30% for outdoor water use reduction?
Any combination of efficiency, alternative water sources, and smart scheduling technologies
32
What must a bicycle network connect to?
At least one of the following: - at least 10 diverse uses - a school or employment center, if the project's total floor area is 50% or more residential - a bus rapid transit stop, light or heavy rail station, commuter rail station, or ferry terminal
33
At what height should CO2 sensors be placed for breathing zone requirements?
Between 3 and 6 feet above the floor
34
What hazardous waste stream categories require safe collection, storage, and disposal?
Choose two of these three: - Batteries - Mercury containing lamps - Electronic waste
35
What minimum number of waste streams must be diverted for C&D Waste Management?
Divert at least 50% of total C&D material, including at least three material streams
36
What are the light pollution reduction requirements for internally illuminated exterior signs?
Do not exceed a luminance of 200 cd/m2 (nits) during nighttime hours and 2000 cd/m2 during daytime hours
37
How often must advanced meters be able to report data?
Hourly, daily, monthly, and annually
38
What is a BAS?
Building Automation System (BAS) It uses computer-based monitoring to coordinate, organize, and optimize building control subsystems, including lighting, equipment scheduling, and alarm reporting
39
When managing rainwater using natural land cover conditions what must be done?
Manage on-site annual increase in runoff volume from the natural land cover condition to the postdeveloped condition
40
When using the calculation method for light pollution reduction how far apart can the calculation points be?
No more than 5 feet apart
41
Does building envelope commissioning have to be completed for Fundamental Commissioing?
No. It must be documented in the OPR and BOD. It is not required unless the project team pursues EA Credit Enhanced Commissioning, Option 2
42
If the BUG rating method is used to meet the Uplight requirement does the method have to be used to meet the Light Trespass requirement?
No. Project teams can use the BUG method or calculation method for Uplight, and use the same or different method for Light Trespass
43
What type of location must a historic district project be located in for High-Priority Site?
On an infill location
44
What is required for LEED Accredited Professional credit?
One LEED AP with a specialty appropriate for the project
45
What three components are part of monitor-based commissioning (MBCx)?
Permanent energy monitoring systems, real-time energy analysis, and ongoing commissioing
46
What two simulations are required for Daylighting, Option 1 Simulation?
sDA and ASE
47
What types of demand response programs are acceptable?
Semi-automated and automated (not manual)
48
How is the total vehicle parking spaces calculated for Heat Island Reduction?
The number of parking spaces in the LEED Project Boundary (including motorcycle parking). Do not count bicycle parking spaces
49
How many conditions are there where the lighting boundary can be different than the property boundary?
There are 3 conditions
50
What are the three options for high priority sites?
Option 1. Historic district Option 2. Priority designation Option 3. Brownfield remediation
51
What should be used to designate a site a prime farmland and identify its soil classification?
National Resources Conservation Service (or local equivalent)
52
When can certification be revoked?
Certification may be revoked from any LEED project upon gaining knowledge of non-compliance with any applicable MPR. If such a circumstance occurs, registration and/or certification fees will not be refunded
53
When is a 40% reduction from the base ratios of the ITE Transportation Planning Handbook required for Reduced Parking Footprint?
When a project earns EITHER LT Credit Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses or LT Credit Access to Quality Transit
54
When can planned stops and stations count towards Access to Quality Transit?
When they are sited, funded, and under construction by the date of the certificate of occupancy and are complete within 24 months of the date
55
Where must long-term bicycle storage be located?
Within 100 feet walking distance of any functional entry
56
Where must short-term bicycle storage be located?
Within 100 feet walking distance of any main entrance
57
How close does a functional entry or bicycle storage need to be to a bicycle network?
Within 200-yards walking or bicycle distance
58
What is the maximum distance on a bicycle network destinations (diverse use, school / employment center, quality transit) must be?
Within 3-mile bicycling distance of the project boundary
