试卷: LEED AP BD+C模拟题B[查看]
An urban new construction project with a zero lot line will have a roof vegetated with
diverse native and adaptive plants and will be built on a previously developed lot. The
project density is 75,435 SF/acre and the average property density is 63,157 SF /acre. The
total building footprint is 57,860 SF with 5,000 SF of equipment and skylights. The
vegetated roof is 12,000 SF. Given the above information what credit(s) can the project
earn?
A: Sustainable Site Credit Development Density and Community Connectivity and Site Development - Protect or Restore Habitat
B: Sustainable Site Credit Development Density and Community Connectivity only
C: Sustainable Sites Credit Site Development - Maximize Open Space only
D: Sustainable Sites Credit Site Development - Protect or Restore Habitat only

参考答案: A

本题解释:
Notes:
Sustainable Sites Credit Site Development - Protect or Restore Habitat and Sustainable Site
Credit Development Density and Community Connectivity are related in LEED.
This project will earn SS Credit 2 (5 points) because both the project density and average
property density are above 60,000SF/acre and the project is being built on a previously
developed site.
SS Credit 5.1 Case 2 - Allows projects earning SS Credit 2 to include vegetated roof surface in
this calculation.
The project can earn SS Credit 5.1 (1 point) by having the vegetated roof take up 20% or more of
the total site area.
57,860 X 0.2 = 11,572 SF
The vegetated roof is larger than 20%. The information on equipment is a distraction as this is not
included in this credit calculation.
