Exactprep LEED-AP-ID+C Questions

For the Materials and Resources Prerequisite, Storage and Collection of Recyclables, the project team must demonstrate that they can effectively manage and divert waste from landfills. Extending the waste stream study to a minimum of 24 hours will provide a more accurate representation of the waste generated and the recyclable streams. This is essential to identify the top five recyclable waste streams, which is a requirement for this prerequisite.

References: The LEED v4 reference guide for Interior Design and Construction specifies that a waste stream audit must cover a representative time period to accurately identify the project’s waste streams1. Additionally, the LEEDuser website provides guidance on how to conduct a waste stream audit and the importance of identifying the main types of recyclable waste1.

For LEED Indoor Environmental Quality Credit concerning Interior Lighting, Option 1, the requirement is for 90% of building occupants to have individual lighting controls. Given that the tenant space includes 100 workstations and 10 enclosed offices intended for individual use, this means that a total of 110 workspaces require lighting control. To achieve one point, at least 90% of these occupants must have control over the lighting in their space. Therefore, the minimum number of occupants that would need individual lightingcontrols is 90% of 110, which calculates to 99 occupants (rounded down). However, as individual controls cannot be split between occupants, the actual minimum number would be 99 occupants. Option B is the closest answer to 99 without going under the required percentage.

The most appropriate LEED rating system for a mobile home is LEED for Homes. This rating system is designed for residential projects and is suitable for a mobile home located in a downtown area of a major city. Since the project is a home and not a commercial or public building, the LEED for Homes rating system would provide the best fit for certification.

References: The LEED for Homes rating system is outlined as suitable for residential projects, including homes like the one described, in the resources provided by the U.S. Green Building Council12.

For a tenant targeting LEED Platinum certification with the help of a LEED AP ID+C consultant, the Integrated Process Worksheet is a crucial tool. To achieve an additional point, the worksheet requires analyses that foster an integrative approach. Specifically, for ID+C projects, the worksheet mandates the completion of energy-related systems analysis1. This is in line with the integrative process credit that encourages project teams to explore synergies across various building systems, leading to more sustainable and efficient designs.
