106  LEED Green Associate™ Exam Preparation Guide
Practice Questions 1. Select two of the following that are strategies to reduce light trespass: a. Install uplighting in parking lots to reduce the spillage of light across the project boundary. b. Schedule cleaning crews to work during the night to eliminate unnecessary lighting use during the day. c. Schedule cleaning crews to work during the day to eliminate unnecessary lighting use at night. d. Install downlighting in parking lots to reduce the spillage of light across the project boundary. e. Install motion sensors or timers to reduce the amount of time exterior lights stay on when they are not needed. 2. A project team is having difficulty reducing the amount of hardscape on a site. Select three strategies the project team could use to reduce rainwater runoff on the site: a. Harvest rainwater falling on the site using a rainwater harvesting system that collects, filters, and pipes harvested rainwater back into the building for all potable (drinking) uses. b. Install a vegetated roof. c. Use pervious concrete for all of the sidewalks. d. Harvest rainwater falling on the site using a rainwater harvesting system that pipes harvested rainwater to the nearest water body for use as clean surface water for swimming and fishing. e. Harvest rainwater falling on the site using a rainwater harvesting system that collects rainwater for irrigation. 3. Open space is defined as what in a LEED project? a. Exterior space that encourages interaction with the environment, social interaction, passive recreation, and physical activities. b. The space between the building perimeter and the perimeter of the project site boundary. c. Community interior space in a building that is not occupied by inhabitants all the time, such as lobbies, copy rooms, restrooms, janitorial closets, and break rooms. d. Space within the LEED project boundary that is open for credit interpretation. e. Space within the LEED project boundary that the credit requirements do not apply to because they would be cost prohibitive, such as soil remediation behind a building that previously housed leaky oil barrels. 4. Installing underground parking can achieve synergies across multiple credits by reducing what two environmental impacts? (select two) a. Light pollution b. Soil erosion c. Rainwater runoff d. Ozone depletion e. Heat island effect 5. Installing a vegetated or green roof can achieve synergies across multiple credits by reducing what two environmental impacts? (select two) a. Rainwater runoff b. Light pollution c. Heat island effect d. Soil erosion e. Ozone depletion
