A LEED AP on a project works exclusively on the HVAC system and does not serve as a principal participant. What statement is true regarding this scenario?
A: The project would earn an Energy and Atmosphere credit
B: No Innovation in Design credit would be earned for having the LEED AP work on the project
C: The project would earn a Regional Priority credit
D: The project would earn an Innovation in Design credit

参考答案: B

本题解释:
LEED APs do not earn credit in the EA category; The purpose of having a LEED AP on the project is to work on sustainable design and synergies, and streamlining the process. Working in isolation - which is not part of the integrated process - does not meet the Innovation in Design credit requirements.

For example if your project has a LEED AP that comes in and sweeps the floors of the construction site for 20 minutes a day during construction but doesn\'t participate in any other way, that doesn\'t meet the intent of the credit.

The spirit of the credit is to have a LEED AP work in a significant role. It is possible to thwart the system and put in a LEED AP who never worked at all on the project, or who sat in on only one conference call. It\'s also possible to earn a LEED plaque by submitting a non-existent building and phony documentation. That isn\'t the spirit of LEED or of this credit, which is what the question is pointing out; LEED APs do not earn Regional Priority credits;This is not correct because the LEED AP must be a principal participant
