LEED-AP-O+M Exam Dumps : LEED AP Operations + Maintenance (LEED AP O+M)

For the Materials and Resources Credit, Purchasing - Facility Maintenance and Renovations, there is no specified minimum amount of renovation or new construction work required. The project team determines what qualifies for this credit based on the scope of their project.

References: The LEED v4.1 O+M reference guide does not specify a minimum renovation requirement for this credit, allowing the project team to define the scope of work that meets the intent of the credit1.

This answer is correct because it matches the requirement of the Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance, which aims to reduce the environmental and economic impacts associated with excessive energy use. The credit requires projects todemonstrate an improvement in energy performance compared to a baseline building, using one of the three options available.For buildings eligible to receive an energy performance rating using the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager tool, the option is to achieve a rating of at least 50, which corresponds to the median energy performance of similar buildings nationwide1. The other options are incorrect because they are either higher than the minimum rating or not applicable to this option.

Innovation credits for exemplary performance in the LEED AP Operations + Maintenance (LEED AP O+M) V4.1 are awarded for achieving the next incremental threshold12. This means that projects must exceed the highest level of performance achievable in an existing LEED credit2. The goal is to encourage and recognize efforts that go beyond the existing requirements and thresholds set by the LEED rating system12.
