What will help with reducing stormwater runoff and reduce the heat island effect?
A: Maximize the floor-area ratio
B: Installing a bioretention pond
C: Installing pervious pavement that has high SRI values
D: Harvesting rainwater

参考答案: C

本题解释:
A item would increase the density of the building;A bioretention pond would only reduce stormwater runoff. LEED awards projects for reducing the heat island effect by shading pervious surfaces, installing open grid paving, and using reflective materials. Installing a retention pond does not do that;Pervious pavement allows stormwater to percolate through to the ground, reducing runoff. Pavement that is reflective reduces the heat island effect;Harvesting rainwater would only reduce stormwater runoff.
