- A. Average usage per hour
- B. Gallons (Liters) per person
- C. Usage per full time employee
- D. Gallons (Liters) per flush
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
Water closets, also known as toilets, are fixtures that use water to flush human waste into a sewer or septic system. The unit of measure for water closets is gallons (liters) per flush, which indicates the amount of water used for each flushing cycle. The water efficiency of waterclosets can vary depending on the design, technology, and regulation of the fixture. The LEED rating system encourages the use of water-efficient fixtures that reduce water consumption and wastewater generation12.

質問 # 58
Which of the following sites is most appropriate to encourage a walkable street design?
- A. A neighborhood that includes a diversity of use
- B. A development that uses many culs-de-sac in the street design
- C. An area with a decreased building-height-to-street-width ratio
- D. A project in an area designed with streets to facilitate increased speed limits
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
A neighborhood that includes a diversity of uses is most appropriate to encourage a walkable street design. A diversity of uses means that different types of activities and functions are located within walking distance of each other, such as residential, commercial, retail, educational, recreational, cultural, and civic uses. A diversity of uses creates a vibrant and lively neighborhood that attracts pedestrians and supports social interaction. A walkable street design also incorporates elements such as sidewalks, crosswalks, street trees, lighting, benches, bike lanes, public transit stops, and reduced vehicle speeds to enhance pedestrian safety and comfort. The other options are not appropriate to encourage a walkable street design. An area with a decreased building-height-to-street-width ratio creates a wide and open street that exposes pedestrians to more sun and wind, reducing their comfort level. A development that uses many culs-de-sac in the street design creates a disconnected and irregular street network that limits pedestrian access and mobility. A project in an area designed with streets to facilitate increased speed limits prioritizes vehicle movement over pedestrian safety and comfort.

- A. take advantage of municipal waste pick-up to reduce the weight of the project's construction material scraps
- B. follow requirements for using dimensional construction materials, prefabrication or material efficient framing
- C. use contractor vehicles to disperse waste materials to multiple disposal sites within the project region
- D. burn paper and cardboard materials on-site
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
The amount of landfill-destined waste generated during project construction can be reduced by requiring the general contractor to follow requirements for using dimensional construction materials, prefabrication or material efficient framing. These methods reduce the amount of material waste by minimizing cutting, fitting, and trimming on site, and by using standardized or modular components that can be easily reused or recycled.
The LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook states that one of the strategies for achieving materials and resources efficiency is to "reduce construction waste through efficient framing techniques" [1, p.
15]. References: LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook, [Reducing Construction Waste | U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency]
質問 # 60
Which of the following is a cause of surface water degradation?
- A. Rainwater harvesting
- B. Expansion of pervious surfaces
- C. Expansion of impervious surfaces
- D. Expansion of outdoor filtration systems
正解:C
解説:
One of the causes of surface water degradation is the expansion of impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces are those that do not allow water to infiltrate into the soil, such as roads, parking lots, rooftops, and sidewalks. Impervious surfaces increase the amount and speed of stormwater runoff, which can carry pollutants, sediments, nutrients, and pathogens into surface water bodies such as streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Impervious surfaces also reduce groundwater recharge, lower base flow in streams, increase flooding and erosion, alter stream morphology and habitat, and affect water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels2. Therefore, impervious surfaces can have significant negative impacts on the quality and quantity of surface water resources. Reference: Surface Water as a cause of land degradation from dryland salinity3; What is Water Pollution?4
質問 # 61
In addition to the temperature and air movement, what is another factor to consider when implementing Thermal Comfort strategies?
- A. Combustion processes from vehicles
- B. Carbon dioxide concentrations
- C. Methane off-gassing
- D. Humidity
正解:D
解説:
In addition to temperature and air movement, humidity is another factor to consider when implementing thermal comfort strategies. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air, which affects how warm or cool people feel. High humidity can make people feel hotter and more uncomfortable, while low humidity can cause dryness and irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat. Thermal comfort strategies should aim to maintain an optimal level of humidity that balances human comfort and health with energy efficiency and moisture control. The other options are not factors to consider when implementing thermal comfort strategies. Methane off-gassing is the release of methane gas from organic matter decomposition or anaerobic digestion, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Carbon dioxide concentrations are a measure of indoor air quality that indicates the level of ventilation and fresh air supply in a space. Combustion processes from vehicles are sources of outdoor air pollution that emit carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and other harmful substances. Reference: LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook, page 29; USGBC, [Indoor Environmental Quality], page 2.
質問 # 62
Installing which of the following will increase the quantity of the rainwater that is discharged from a site?
- A. Vegetated roof
- B. Bioswales and ram gardens with native plants
- C. Porous pavers for parking lots
- D. Concrete sidewalks and parking areas
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
Installing concrete sidewalks and parking areas will increase the quantity of the rainwater that is discharged from a site. Rainwater is the water that falls as precipitation on a site. Rainwater discharge is the amount of rainwater that leaves a site as surface runoff or subsurface flow. Rainwater discharge can affect the quantity and quality of water resources downstream by causing erosion, flooding, sedimentation, pollution, and habitat loss. Concrete sidewalks and parking areas are examples of impervious surfaces that prevent rainwater from infiltrating into the soil and increase rainwater discharge by creating more runoff1 .

質問 # 63
Which of the following Is a source of green power?
- A. Nuclear fission
- B. Clean coal
- C. Natural gas captured by hydraulic fracturing
- D. Wind turbine
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
A wind turbine is a source of green power, which is electricity generated from renewable sources that have low or zero greenhouse gas emissions. A wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power, which can then be used to generate electricity. Wind power is a clean, abundant, and sustainable form of energy that does not produce air pollution or contribute to climate change. According to the U.S.
Department of Energy, wind power accounted for about 8.4% of the total U.S. electricity generation in 2020.
The other options are not sources of green power, as they either rely on fossil fuels or nuclear energy, which have significant environmental and social impacts. Clean coal is a term used to describe technologies that aim to reduce the emissions and waste from burning coal, but it is still a carbon-intensive and polluting source of energy. Nuclear fission is a process that splits atoms to release energy, but it also produces radioactive waste that poses long-term health and safety risks. Natural gas captured by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a process that injects water, chemicals, and sand into underground rock formations to release natural gas, but it also causes water contamination, air pollution, and seismic activity. References: LEED v4 Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction, p. 347 1; [U.S. Department of Energy website]
