What has the lowest priority in building design?
A: Fire protection codes
B: Local building codes
C: LEED Rating System
D: Plumbing codes

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Local building codes represent the minimum codes that a project must adhere to.

State and local jurisdictions may develop their own regulations or adopt building codes based on national model codes. State and local codes are typically based on national model codes published by the International Code Council (ICC); Although the LEED Rating System is critical to a successful green building project, all local, state, and federal codes and regulations have precedent over any LEED standards. A project team can\'t ignore local codes in favor of a green building strategy. Both must be addressed.

Certain locales have their own set of green codes, which must be addressed as well.
