Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Thermal comfort is typically attributed to what env factors?






2. A natural resource that cannot be produced - re-grown - regenerated - or reused on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. these resources often exist in a fixed amount - or are consumed much faster than nature can recreate them. fossil fuels

9. A contractual benchmark that usually corresponds to the point at which a client could occupy a nearly completed space.






10. 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

16. Life-cycle assessment is used to determine what?






17. What are the added costs of bldg green & what benefits offset those cost?






18. The process of verifying - in new construction - that all the systems and subsystems are efficiently designed and installed properly to achieve the owner's project requirements and as designed by the building architects and engineers.






19. Non-industrial wastewater generated from domestic processes such as dish washing - laundry and bathing. some states and local authorities allow kitchen sink water to be included. check local codes in order to comply with local regulations.






20. A project must: Comply w/ Environmental Laws - Be a Complete - Permanent bldg/space - Use a reasonable Site Boundary - Comply with min' Floor Area requirements - Comply with min' Occup' Rates - Commit to Sharing whole bldg energy & water Usage Data






21. Like carbon dioxide or methane - which contributes to potential climate change






22. Water leaving plants and soil returning back to the atmosphere






23. Renewable energy such as solar - wind - biomass - hydro - and geothermal energy






24. An expense item that is not considered a direct construction cost. soft costs include architectural - engineering - financing - and legal fees - commissioning - and other pre- and post-construction expenses






25. Each LEED credit has requirements that must be met and documentation that must be submitted to prove the credit requirements were met






26. Primary pollutants in Acid Rain are...






27. Rainwater that has been collected for uses such as landscaping irrigation - toilet flushing - or other non-potable water uses






28. Solid - liquid or gaseous fuel derived from relatively recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels - which are derived from long dead biological material






29. Documentation of the results of the commissioning process - including the as-built state of the HVAC system and any unresolved issues found at the time the commissioning process was completed






30. Ruling process for project applicants seeking technical and administrative guidance on how LEED credits apply to their projects and vice versa. (USGBC) LEED interpretations are the result of a CIR and may determine how future project teams use LEED






31. Floor area of the building / the total area of the site = sq ft / acre






32. Document that outlines the organization - schedule - allocation of resources - and documentation requirements of the commissioning process






33. Green bldg emphasizes using what type of design process?






34. Long term maintenance of ecosystem components and functions for future generations






35. The number of different types of space per acre in an area - think of a mixed-use development - which has both houses and offices






36. The slow release of a gas that was trapped or adsorbed in some material. off-gassing can be significant if it collects in a closed environment where air is stagnant or recirculated and the gas has negative health effects. off-gassing example: new car






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






38. Landscape elements designed to slow the flow of stormwater and increase ground water recharge while also removing silt and pollution from surface runoff water. they consist of a depressed drainage course with gently sloped sides and filled with veget






39. Doing this in the air for the purposes of assessing indoor air quality






40. Colorless - odorless gas that is present in the atmosphere and is formed when any fuel containing carbon is burned. it is breathed out of animal's lungs during respiration - is produced by the decay of organic matter - and is used by plants in photos






41. Flush-Out






42. Human thermal comfort is defined by ASHRAE as the state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the surrounding environment (ASHRAE Standard 55). maintaining thermal comfort for occupants of buildings or other enclosures is one of the important goal






43. Under building - tuck-under - or a stacked parking structure that minimizes the need for exposed parking and parking lots






44. A collection of living things and the environment in which they live. for example - a prairie [this] includes coyotes - the rabbits on which they feed - and the grasses that feed the rabbits






45. CD carry the design into the detail level so that construction can take place.
