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.

3. Major Players in Design & Construction Process are...






4. Green Bldg can reduce how much Solid Waste?






5. Material that is sourced and manufactured within 500 miles of the project. usually expressed as a percentage of total project material






6. What is the procedure required to achieve LEED cert?






7. The concept that takes into consideration all impacts of the indoor environment on human health and performance - including indoor air quality - daylighting and views - and visual and thermal comfort.






8. When an exisiting building undergoes the commissioning process to discover if improvements or changes should be made to improve the building






9. 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






10. Previously used or redeveloped land that may be contaminated with hazardous waste or pollution (USGBC). the land has the potential to be reused once any hazardous substances - pollutants - or contaminants are remediated






11. Mixture of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette - pipe - or cigar and smoke exhaled by the smoker






12. A site that was previously built on - has been graded - or contained a parking lot - roadway - or other structure






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






14. The practice of placing windows - or other transparent media - and reflective surfaces so that - during the day - natural light provides effective internal illumination






15. 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






16. What are the 3D sustainability often described as the triple bottom line or 3 legged stool?






17. Air quality within buildings as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants






18. 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






19. Carrying away or displacement of solids (sediment - soil - rock - and other particles) usually by the agents of currents such as wind - water - or ice by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity






20. A process used to remove VOCs from a bldg by elevating the tempt in the fully furnished & ventilated bldg prior to human occupancy.






21. Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (EPA)






22. Controllability of Systems






23. How many % of environmental impacts decision are made during the 1st 10% of design process?






24. An attempt to reduce peak period transportation use - such as allowing flex time in which employees may come to work before or after rush hour






25. The process of collecting (commonly from a roof) - storing and using rainwater






26. An unwanted airborne constituent that may reduce acceptability of the air (ASHRAE 62.1-2004)






27. Prior to submitting CIR - what strategies should be considered?






28. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons that are used in refrigerants and propellants that are known to deplete the ozone layer






29. Any of various halocarbon compounds consisting of carbon - hydrogen - chlorine - and fluorine - once used widely as aerosol propellants and refrigerants. these are believed to cause depletion of the atmospheric ozone layer






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






31. 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






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






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






34. 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






35. Collaborative - facilitated approach to project design and execution. the approach invests in design activities that increase the opportunity for integrated solutions with an eye to better performance and life cycle savings






36. What should take place during Occupancy?






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






38. 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






39. Allowing pedestrians to walk between areas without interference from walls - highways or other barriers






40. A system where the output may signal the system to stop changing - i.e. - a thermostat -- at a certain point the temp feedback will tell the system to cut off






41. In green building - location includes the natural context (climate - plants - wind - sun) the social context (cultural history - traditions - local regulations) - and an infrastructural context (roads - local materials - utilities - public transit)






42. Being able to allow water or air to filtrate through






43. Content from industry scraps that was diverted from the waste stream and used for other purposes. examples include sawdust - wood shavings - wood chips - and print overruns. excluded are materials that are re-incorporated into the same manufacturing






44. 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






45. Process for project teams to obtain technical guidance on how LEED requirements pertain to their projects






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






47. The measurement method for defining Irrigation Efficiency






48. Standard comparison of the efficiency of an air filter. MERV ranges from 1 (least) to 16 (most efficient) - and measures a filter's ability to remove particles from 3 to 10 microns in size. developed by ASHRAE
