A potential LEED project could be certified under either LEED for Existing Buildings or LEED for New Construction. How should the project team decide which rating system to use?(choose 2)
A: Use the 40/60 rule
B: The rating system that could earn the most points should always be selected
C: LEED for New Construction always has priority since it is the most popular rating system
D: The project team must independently decide which rating system to use

参考答案: AD

本题解释:
LEED has a 40/60 rule to help project teams decide on a rating system:

If a particular rating system is appropriate for 40% or less of a LEED project building or space, then that rating system should not be used.
If a particular rating system is appropriate for 60% or more of a LEED project building or space, then that rating system should be used.
Project teams with buildings and spaces that do not fall into the scenarios described in a) and b) must independently assess their situation and decide which rating system is most applicable;USGBC/GBCI does not require selecting the rating system that would earn the most points;While LEED for New Construction is the most popular rating system used, it is not given a priority by USGBC;The 40/60 rule is provided for guidance. Ultimately the project team decides.Reference: LEED Rating System Selection Policy
