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

Furniture is the only type of product that needs to be evaluated for both VOC content and VOC emissions in the LEED BD+C Low-Emitting Materials credit. Flooring, composite wood, and wet applied products only need to meet the VOC content requirements, while other types of products, such as ceilings, walls, thermal and acoustic insulation, and exterior applied products, only need to meet the VOC emissions requirements1.

Detailed Explanation:

Preliminary energy modeling focuses on the building’s massing, orientation, thermal comfort ranges, and energy supply sources. Plug and process loads are typically omitted at this stage as they are highly variable and depend on specific occupant behavior and equipment usage. LEED focuses on the building’s core energy performance during preliminary analysis.

LEED BD+C Location and Transportation (LT) Credit: High Priority Site encourages development in locations with existing infrastructure to promote sustainable land use.

Option 1: Historic District applies to projects located in designated historic districts where at least 75% of land within ½ mile (0.80 km) is previously developed.

Brownfields (Option C) and Federal Renewal Communities (Option D) are separate site categories that fall under different High Priority Site options.

The ¾ mile (1.20 km) radius in Option A is incorrect, as LEED specifically sets the requirement at ½ mile (0.80 km).

To earn this credit under Option 1, a project in a historic district must demonstrate that the surrounding land is predominantly redeveloped.
