LEED-Green-Associate Exam Dumps : LEED Green Associate GAFRE Exam (LEED GA)

The LEED for Schools rating system includes specific requirements not found in other BD+C categories:

“Minimum Acoustical Performance – Schools ONLY – EQp3 + EQc9… This prerequisite is for school projects only to provide a quiet environment to facilitate the teacher-to-student and student-to-student communication.”

This makes "Minimum Acoustic Performance" a required prerequisite for schools.

LEED prerequisites are the minimum requirements that a project must meet in order to be eligible for LEED certification. Prerequisites are mandatory for all projects and cannot be substituted or waived. If a project does not meet a prerequisite in one credit category, it does not qualify for certification, regardless of how many points it earns in other categories123.

A project that does not meet a prerequisite in one credit category does not forfeit all points in the same credit category, as points are awarded for meeting optional credits, not prerequisites. A project cannot file a CIR (Credit Interpretation Request) to seek clarification or exception for a prerequisite, as CIRs are only applicable for credits. A projectcannot substitute a prerequisite from an alternative rating system, as prerequisites are specific to each rating system and reflect the minimum standards for that system

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) administers the LEED rating systems development. The LEED rating systems are frameworks that provide guidance and criteria for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining green buildings. The USGBC is responsible for developing, maintaining, and updating the LEED rating systems through a consensus-based process that involves various stakeholders, such as technical experts, industry leaders, government representatives, and public comments. The LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook states that “USGBC is committed to transforming the way our buildings are designed, constructed and operated through LEED” [1, p. 7]. References: LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook, [LEED Rating Systems | U.S. Green Building Council]
