Which design decisions can earn a project exemplary performance credit?
A: Using 20% regional materials
B: Reducing potable water consumption for irrigation by 50%
C: Using 7% rapidly renewable materials
D: Installing low-emitting furniture and furnishings

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:


For rapidly renewable materials, the percentage must be 5% or greater to earn exemplary
performance. In this case the project achieved 7%.


Note the difference between ID credits for \'exemplary\' performance, and \'innovative\' performance:

Low-emitting furniture and furnishings would qualify for innovative performance, not exceptional
performance.


For regionally harvested, extracted and manufactured materials, the credit calculation must be
30% or greater.


For Water Efficiency Credit, Water-Efficient Landscaping there are not points for exemplary
performance. Also the answer choice given - 50% - only met the base credit requirements.
