質問 # 23
What can be omittedfrom the calculation verifying the percentage of reuse of buildings undergoing major renovation?
- A. Nonstructural roofing material
- B. Structural floor
- C. Roof decking
- D. Exterior skin and framing
正解：A
解説：
Nonstructural roofing material can be omitted from the calculation verifying the percentage of reuse of buildings undergoing major renovation in a LEED for Neighborhood Development project. The calculation typically focuses on structural elements of the building that have a significant impact on the overall sustainability of the renovation.
* Reuse Calculation:In LEED-ND, the calculation for the percentage of building reuse considers the retention and reuse of structural and significant non-structural elements during a renovation. This is to ensure that the embodied energy and materials within the existing structure are maximized, reducing the need for new materials and minimizing waste.
* Exclusion of Nonstructural Roofing Material:Nonstructural elements, such as roofing materials that do not contribute to the structural integrity of the building, are generally excluded from this calculation.
This is because these materials are often replaced more frequently due to wear and tear and do not represent the same level of material conservation as structural components.
* Structural Elements Focus:The emphasis is placed on retaining major structural components such as floors, framing, and exterior walls, which contribute significantly to the building's embodied energy and material footprint.
* The LEED Reference Guide for Neighborhood Development provides detailed instructions on how to calculate the percentage of building reuse and what elements should be included or excluded.
* TheLEED v4 Neighborhood Developmentdocumentation clarifies the definitions of structural and nonstructural materials in the context of building reuse.

A project is pursuing Neighborhood Pattern and Design Credit. Local Food Production Restrictions in deeds or covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) may prohibit greenhouses in which location?
- A. Rooftops
- B. Front yards facing the circulation network
- C. Back yards
- D. Side yard facing the circulation network
正解：B
解説：
When pursuing the Neighborhood Pattern and Design Credit for Local Food Production, restrictions in deeds or covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) may prohibit greenhouses in front yards facing the circulation network. This restriction is often put in place tomaintain the aesthetic appeal and uniformity of the neighborhood as seen from public streets and walkways.
* Local Food Production Credit:This credit encourages the integration of food production into neighborhood design, allowing residents to grow their own food in spaces like gardens and greenhouses. However, certain restrictions may apply to where these facilities can be located to ensure they do not negatively impact the visual or social fabric of the neighborhood.
* CC&Rs and Aesthetic Considerations:CC&Rs often include provisions that regulate the appearance of properties within a neighborhood. Restrictions on placing greenhouses in front yards facing the circulation network (streets and public pathways) are common because these areas are highly visible and contribute to the neighborhood's overall aesthetic. Allowing greenhouses in these areas could disrupt the visual harmony and lead to inconsistent appearances along the streetscape.
* Alternative Locations:While greenhouses may be restricted in front yards, they are typically permitted in less visible areas, such as backyards or side yards, where they can still contribute to local food production without impacting the neighborhood's visual cohesion.
* The LEED Reference Guide for Neighborhood Development provides guidelines on how to meet the Local Food Production credit while considering CC&Rs.
* TheLEED v4 Neighborhood Developmentdocumentation offers further details on managing land use and aesthetic considerations in neighborhood design.

質問 # 34
A square site with four equally sized neighboring parcels isbeing considered for a LEEDfor Neighborhood Development project.Consider the following: on the north side of the site is forest land; on the east side Is a church located on a parcel that is 100% developed: and on the south side is a schoollocated on a parcel that is
50% developed. Which one of the following uses on the west side would make this an infill site?
- A. A market on a parcel that is 50% developed
- B. A library on a parcel that is 75% developed
- C. A parcel that is 100% farmland
- D. A post office on a parcel that is 25% developed
正解：B
解説：
For a site to qualify as an infill site under LEED for Neighborhood Development, at least 75% of the boundary must border parcels that are developed, meaning they have been previously disturbed by human activity. In this scenario, the addition of a library on a parcel that is 75% developed on the west side of the site would meet the criteria for an infill site because it would ensure that the site is surrounded by developed parcels.
* Infill Development Criteria:Infill development is central to the LEED-ND program as it encourages the use of land within existing urban areas rather than contributing to urban sprawl. The requirement that 75% of the boundary borders developed parcels ensures that the site is integrated into an already developed area, making it easier to connect to existing infrastructure and services.
* Development Status of Parcels:The key factor in determining whether a site qualifies as infill is the extent of development on adjacent parcels. A parcel is considered developed if a significant portion (typically 50% or more) has been altered by human activity, such as buildings, roads, or other infrastructure.
* Scenario Analysis:In the given scenario:
* North: Forest land (undeveloped)
* East: Church (100% developed)
* South: School (50% developed)
* West: The library (75% developed)
Detailed Explanation:The addition of the library on a 75% developed parcel ensures that the site meets the infill criteria, as it increases the percentage of the boundary that is adjacent to developed parcels.
* The LEED-ND Reference Guide provides criteria for what constitutes infill development under the Smart Location & Linkage (SLL) category.
* Detailed guidelines and examples can be found in theLEED v4 Neighborhood Development documentation, which clarifies the requirements for infill sites.
