What is the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) intended to replace?
A: LEED v4
B: LEED v2009
C: ASHRAE 189.1
D: Traditional building codes

参考答案: D

本题解释:
正确答案：D
系统解析: D:The IGCC provides the building industry with language that both broadens and strengthens building codes in a way that will accelerate the construction of high performance green buildings.

Jurisdictions that adopt the IGCC into their building codes can enforce them.

By having comprehensive mandatory codes, building owners can experience the benefits of green building.

B:The IGCC is distinct from LEED, and also compliments LEED. Where the IGCC is intended to raise the bar of mandatory building codes, LEED take green building one step further. LEED is still voluntary in most places where the IGCC is designed to be a minimum enforceable green building code.

C:IGCC doesn’t replace ASHRAE 189.1. ASHRAE 189.1 is an alternative compliance path to the IGCC.
