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

For the documentation of the energy-related systems of the Integrative Process worksheet, it is required to provide a detailed comparative energy model before completing the schematic design. This model evaluates energy load reduction strategies, including plug load reductions. The process involves analyzing various strategies to understand their impact on the building’s energy performance, thereby enabling the project team to make informed decisions on which strategies to implement1.

For the Water Efficiency Credit, Indoor Water Use Reduction calculations, all fixtures within the LEED project boundary must be included, both new and existing. The baseline for the existing fixtures should be the same as the baseline flush/flow rates used for the new fixtures. This approach ensures a consistent and fair comparison between the current and proposed water use.

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.
