24. The online software used to manage the entire LEED project certification process and manage credits






25. Compounds that have a high vapor pressure and low water solubility and therefore can enter the air easily. many VOCs are human-made chemicals that are used and produced in the manufacture of paints - pharmaceuticals - and refrigerants

27. An underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel - sand - silt or clay) from which groundwater can be usefully extracted using a water well. these are critically important in human habitation and agriculture. t






28. The ratio of energy radiated by a particular material to energy radiated by a black body at the same temperature. measure of a material's ability to radiate absorbed energy






29. Primary pollutants in Acid Rain are...






30. Water that originates from precipitation that enters the stormwater system






31. The comparison between a standard gage and the estimated in a building's design scenario. in LEED - the [first word] usually refers to the EPAct 1992 water flow and flush rates






32. The ability of dark - non-reflective paved areas-city streets - rooftops - and sidewalks-to absorb and radiate heat - making urban areas and the surrounding suburbs noticeably hotter than rural towns nearby. other contributors include reduced airflow






33. Pavement that is less than 50% impervious and contains vegetation in the open cells






34. Process water can be reduced by which 2 methods?






35. Concept of integrative design emphasizes






36. A gas composed of 3 oxygen atoms. it's not usually emitted directly into the air - but at ground level is created by a chemical reaction between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight. ozone has the






37. Temperature of the surrounding air or other medium (EPA)






38. How prerequisites and credits are grouped depending on the building type and rating system






39. Achieving net zero emissions by balancing the footprint with an equivalent amount of sequestered or offset green house gases






40. The mathematical expression of Imperviousness






41. When all recyclables for collection are mixed but kept separate from other waste






42. Any behavior that results in the use of less energy. examples: turning the lights off when you leave a room - and recycling aluminum cans are both ways to do this






43. Used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building - but no specific illness or cause can be identified
