LEED-AP-BD+C Exam Dumps : LEED AP Building Design + Construction (LEED AP BD+C)

For the Water Efficiency (WE) Prerequisite: Outdoor Water Use Reduction, athletic fields and playgrounds are considered special landscape areas and can be optionally included in landscape area calculations. This flexibility (D) allows teams to decide based on the unique water needs of these areas, as athletic fields often require extensive watering for maintenance. LEED recognizes these areas’ high water demand and provides an exception, acknowledging the potential challenges in reducing water for such intensive-use spaces.

To comply with LEED BD+C Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Credit: Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies, Option 2, a project must implement at least two of the following enhanced air quality strategies:

Use of an outdoor airflow measurement device to monitor and measure at least 90% of the outdoor air intake flow to ensure proper ventilation.

Advanced filtration systems (such as CEN Class F7 or MERV 13 filters) for mechanically ventilated buildings.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) monitoring in densely occupied spaces, with alerts for elevated CO₂ levels.

Entryway systems (such as walk-off mats) at all regularly used building entrances to reduce dirt and contaminants.

Option D correctly identifies outdoor airflow measurement as one of the acceptable strategies under Option 2.

The reuse calculation for MR Credit Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction includes the surface area of structural elements that are reused in place or salvaged and reinstalled, such as floor decking, columns, beams, and roof decking. Exterior glazing and plumbing fixtures are not considered structural elements and are not included in the reuse calculation. Asbestos insulation is a hazardous material that should be removed and disposed of properly, not reused.
