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

A topographic assessment of a project site located 150 ft. (45 m) from a water body was conducted. The results of the slope analysis show that the site is generally sloping 6% to 8% to the northwest over most of the site, with some steep slopes located at the eastern edge of the property, which may impact the runoff volume. Which one of the following LEED credits or prerequisites will be affected by these results?

Questions 1–5 are based on the same project scenario. Please use the scenario information when answering.

A hospital certified under LEED V5 in 2018 is designing and constructing a 21,000 ft² (1,950.96 m²) vertical addition, plus vegetated terraces and a mechanical penthouse.

The original hospital achieved the Gold certification level and was built with the capacity to add three floors—levels six through eight—to the top of the structure. This addition requires partial demolition of the roof and the floor below.

The project is designed to be architecturally cohesive with the existing building façade and is targeting Platinum certification under LEED v5.

The campus is in a dense urban area adjacent to several bus stops, a light-rail transit station within a 2,500 ft. (762 m) walking distance, and a bicycle docking point at the main entrance to the property. An on-campus shuttle service connects patients, visitors, and staff from the parking areas to each medical building and the light-rail station.

The healthcare campus has existing infrastructure; therefore, no new roads, sidewalks, parking structures, or ground-level landscaping will be installed.

The new floors have separate mechanical systems in the penthouse, but piping for public and patient restrooms, janitor closets, and staff break rooms connects directly to the main hospital plumbing system.

The newly installed medical equipment uses gas, steam, and chilled water supplied by the campus central plant.

In addition to the vegetated terraces, the project team is considering installing a green roof with walkways, fountains, and seating areas for patients, visitors, and staff. If the project attempts SSc2: Accessible Outdoor Space, what percentage of the required outdoor space must be vegetated?

A building owner in an arid climate is trying to design an outdoor lunch area for the tenants. Which landscaping strategy is important to employ in order to reduce water demand?
