LEED v4 AP BD+C Practice Test #1

# A project's total site area is 280,000 SF (26,000 m2). The total previously
developed area on site is 100,000 SF (9,290 m2). The building FAR is 1.7. How
much financial support would an owner have to provide to ear SS credit Site
Development - Protect or Restore Habitat?

A) $112,000
B) $72,000
C) $122,400
D) $40,000
A) $112,000

Feedback:

This type of question will likely include additional, extraneous information to cause
confusion. For Option 2 Financial Support, the requirement is as follows:

$0.40/SF ($4/m2) for the total site area including the building footprint.

280,000 X $0.40 = $112,000
# Which non-mandatory steps could a project team take prior to conducting air-
quality testing that would improve the test results for EQ Credit IAQ Assessment?
(Choose 2)
A) Vacuum using a vacuum cleaner with filtration media.
B) Test and balance the HVAC system
C) Install finishes and furniture
D) Clean with low-emitting cleaning products
E) Complete punch-list items that would generate VOCs or other contaminants.
A) Vacuum using a vacuum cleaner with filtration media.
D) Clean with low-emitting cleaning products

Notes:
Here are the required steps before a flush-out or air testing:

For residential projects, install owner-provided furniture

,Complete punch-list items that would generate VOCs or other contaminants
Test and balance the HVAC system
# A project team has hired a LEED consultant to assist them with their first LEED
project. What will the consultant need to tell the project team to take photographs
of if they choose to pursue those credits?

A) SS Credit Rainwater Management
B) EQ Credit Construction IAQ Management Plan
C) LT Credit Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses
D) LT Credit Access to Quality Transit
B) EQ Credit Construction IAQ Management Plan

Feedback:

Construction Management IAQ Management Plan requires photos that highlight the
implemented construction IAQ practices.

LT Credit Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses does not require a photo, but a phot is
one alternative for providing the site vicinity plan. Sketches, block diagrams, and maps
can also be used.

LT Credit Access to Quality Transit does not require photos.

SS Credit Rainwater Management does not require a photo or drawing.
# A university housing project with 100 one-bedroom apartments has a baseline
parking capacity of 1 parking space/unit from the ITE handbook.
The project will earn 1 point under LT Credit Surrounding Density AND Diverse
Uses BUT NOT earn LT Credit Access to Quality Transit.
The project includes off-street parking.
How many preferred parking spaces for carpools must the project include for LT
Credit Reduced Parking Footprint?
A) 5 spaces
B) 3 spaces
C) 0 spaces
D) 2 spaces
B) 3 spaces
Notes:
A 20% reduction is required for project that DO NOT earn points for either LT Credit
Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses or LT Credit Access to Quality Transit.
A 40% reduction is required for projects that DO earn points under either LT Credit
Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses or LT Credit Access to Quality Transit.
This project has earned one of the credits, so a 40% reduction is required.
If any off-street parking spaces are provided, the project must include preferred parking
for carpools for 5% of the total parking capacity. The preferred parking is calculated
AFTER the reductions have been made.

,100 spaces baseline from the ITE handbook X 60% (40% reduction) = 60 total spaces
60 spaces X 5% preferred parking = 3 spaces

D) Below-grade
B) One-third of the way up the side of the building

Notes:
For exterior contaminant prevention, outdoor air intakes are best located one-third of the
way up the side of a building.
