LEED-AP-ID+C Exam Dumps : LEED AP Interior Design + Construction (LEED AP ID+C) V4

Integrated decision-making involves the collaborative effort of various stakeholders in a project, from its conception through completion, to ensure the building's design serves its intended purpose effectively. In the context of placing circulation near the office perimeter next to the window wall, integrated decision-making would mean making design choices that enhance the building's performance and occupant comfort. Option A, installing blinds to increase occupant comfort, would address issues such as glare and thermal gains from the sun, which directly impact the occupants' comfort and the building's heating and cooling loads. This decision would emerge from the iterative process of identifying the unique needs and challenges of the project and making early design decisions that benefit the project both in execution and operation.

The use of MERV 13 (F7) air filters is specifically required for the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies. This requirement is part of the strategies to improve indoor air quality by reducing particulate matter in the air, which can be achieved by using filters with a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 13 or higher1.

The process of discussing project goals to identify the credits and options that the team should attempt aligns with the development of the LEED Scorecard. The LEED Scorecard is a tool used to track the credits pursued and points earned by a project, guiding the team in selecting the most appropriate and beneficial credits to achieve their sustainability objectives1.
