What are the environmental benefits of selecting a previously developed site for a project?


A: The site would have a greater development density
B: The site would be located near mass transit
C: Preserving open space
D: Local tax savings may be available

参考答案: C

本题解释:
A The development density of the project depends on the building design, not the type of land chosen.
B A previously developed site doesn\'t mean mass transit will be available. There are plenty of cities that have no or poor public transportation systems.
C The question asks for an environmental benefit.

A greenfield is site that is undeveloped and in a natural state or has been used for agriculture.

LEED prefers not building on greenfields but using previously developed land instead. Preserving greenfields means more open space will be available.
D Tax savings are an economic benefit.
