LEED GA: Green Associate

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






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






3. Previously undeveloped land that is suited for agriculture






4. Min' years that a LEED bldg should share its energy & water usage data with USGBCa






5. Watering using above ground sprinkler heads






6. A systematic process of assuring that a building and its systems performs in accordance with the design intent and the owner's requirements






7. LEED certification fee is base on two factors.






8. Begins the process of spatial refinement & usually involves the 1st design of a project's energy system.






9. Which LEED rating systems has more than 100 points






10. When large amounts of outdoor air are forced through a recently completed building for a period of time so that the majority of pollutant emissions from building materials - finishes and furnishings can be removed from the building before occupancy.






11. 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






12. Developing in areas near transportation - housing - and jobs therefore leaving open spaces and farmland free from development






13. 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.






14. Comparison between a standard gage and an actual result. in LEED - the [first part] usually refers to the EPAct 1992 water flow and flush rates while the [second part] would represent an existing building.






15. When symptoms of diagnosable illness are identified and can be attributed to airborne building contaminants (EPA)






16. Indicates a material's ability to reject solar heat and is the combined value of reflectivity and emittance. measurements vary from 100 (standard white surface - most reflective) - to 0 (standard black surface - least reflective). materials with the






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






18. Mainly artificial structures--such as pavements (roads - sidewalks - driveways and parking lots) that are covered by impenetrable (impervious) materials such as asphalt - concrete - brick - and stone--and rooftops. soils compacted by urban developmen






19. Aset of rules that specify the minimum acceptable level for safety for constructed objects such as buildings and non building structures. these protect public health - safety and general welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of bui






20. Third party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design - construction and operation of high performance green buildings (USGBC)






21. All the energy used to grow - extract and manufacture a product - transport it to the jobsite - complete the installation - and finally dispose of it at the end of its life cycle






22. System that constantly takes in items from outside the system - used them and then released them as waste. this system has no feedback loop. think of a normal home where groceries - products - or water come into the house - are used and then released






23. What is acknowledged as one of the greatest threats to surface-water quality?






24. A formal question asked of GBCI from the project team - who would then receive Credit Interpretation Ruling.






25. This concept is thought of as more sustainable. ex: plants grow in a field - produce oxygen - take in water - then die and decay which helps plants grow. these can be linked so one system uses the byproducts of another






26. A term used in life cycle analysis to describe a material or product that is recycled into a new product at the end of its useful life. an example of a closed system






27. Light that passes beyond the project boundary - i.e. parking lot lighting that passes into a park next to the project






28. Green Bldg can reduce how much Water Use?






29. The level of pollutants prescribed by regulations that are not to be exceeded during a given time in a defined area (EPA)






30. Unit of measurement by which flowing devices such as faucets and showers are measured and regulated






31. Urinals that do not use water at all. these systems can save anywhere between 15000 and 45000 gallons of water per urinal per year






32. Thermal comfort is typically attributed to what env factors?






33. Landscaping and gardening in ways that reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental irrigation. it is promoted in areas that do not have easily accessible supplies of fresh water and is catching on in other areas as climate patterns shift






34. What are the extra categories for LEED for Home?






35. All members of the project team working towards the integrated process - including building owners - maintenance staff - planners - designers - etc.






36. An increase in the near surface temp of the earth. this has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences - but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse






37. In LEED credit weightings - the most important impact category






38. 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






39. Areas where the upper soil is no longer exposed - including paved areas - walkways - fountains - etc.






40. Total building energy costs (including all plug loads) annually. this value is intended to be used to compare against design cases to compute energy savings from a proposed design






41. Capable of being decomposed by natural agents - especially bacteria






42. Gives preference to the purchase of environmentally preferable products and the companies that supply them






43. 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






44. Schematic Design - Design Development - and Construction Documents






45. Potential credits and categories that may be used in upcoming versions of the LEED rating systems






46. The relationship btw the total bldg floor area & the allowable land area the bldg can cover.






47. The amount of water the design case conserves vs the baseline case






48. When costs are established and contracts for construction services are signed.






49. In LEED credit weightings - the less important impact category






50. The percentage of water volume beneficially used by plants to the volume of water delivered through an irrigation system. water wasted would evaporate - fall on hardscapes - or runoff. drip irrigation is the most efficient with a 90% irrigation effic
