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. The introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability - disorder - harm or discomfort to the physical systems or living organisms






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






3. The variation in life forms within a given ecosystem or for the entire earth. this is often used as a measure of the health of biological systems.






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






5. The area of the project site that is impacted by construction activity - LEED project should attempt to limit site disturbance






6. The presence in water of enough harmful or objectionable material to damage the water's quality (EPA)






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






8. Flat or nearby flat land adjacent to a stream or river that experiences occasional or periodic flooding






9. Viewing the world as an interrelated set of systems that can influence one another






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






11. 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






12. American society of heating - refrigerating and air conditioning engineers. international technical society for all individuals and organizations interested in heating - ventilation - air-conditioning and refrigeration (hvac & r)






13. Method which minimizes the use of water and fetilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants - either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone - through a network of valves - pipes - tubing and emitters






14. Part of a refrigeration system - a machine that removes heat from liquid via a vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle






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






16. Water that is not treated to drinking water standards and is not meant for human consumption






17. Method of land use regulation used by local governments in most developed countries. zoning may be use-based (regulating the uses to which land may be put) - or it may regulate building height - lot coverage - and similar characteristics - or some co






18. 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






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






20. The carbon overlay in LEED is used for what?






21. Part of the LEED rating system. within each LEED category there are prerequisites and credits. prerequisites must be met for building certification.






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






23. An international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances believed to be responsible for ozone depletion






24. 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






25. Air and surface temperature differences between developed and underdeveloped areas






26. Substances used to transfer heat during the mechanical cooling process within air conditioning and refrigerator systems. they act as the heat carrier which changes from gas to liquid and then back to gas in the refrigeration cycle






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






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






29. Materials from construction sites or existing buildings that are reused in the same or different capacity. examples can include flooring - brick - beams - and doors






30. Green Bldg can reduce how much Solid Waste?






31. An interactive energy management tool for tracking and assessing energy and water consumption across an entire portfolio of buildings






32. 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






33. The min' floor area for NC - CS - Schools - EB - and O&M






34. Part of the LEED rating system - which specifies the environmental goal of each LEED credit






35. 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






36. Unit of measurement that describes a building's energy use relative to its size. it's calculated by taking the total energy consumed in one year in kBTUs and dividing it by total floorspace of the building. a low number signifies good energy performa






37. Systems withing systems that are related because they affect and effect each other






38. Meters placed on smaller portions of a larger system - i.e. submeteres monitoring water use on each floor of a project






39. Development that occurs within established urban areas where the site or area either is a vacant place between other developments or has previously been used for another urban purpose






40. Pollution of water generally results from multiple sources vs. just one source - examples are runoff from roads - drainage from buildings - seepage - runoff from farmland. pollution in a river may not be exactly pinpointed because most pollution is n






41. Excel spreadsheet that helps project teams track their credits against requirements for certification






42. 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






43. Investigation and valuation of the environmental impacts of a given product or service. LCA evaluates environmental performance. this view takes into account the whole life of a product or project (not assessing it from a single point in time)






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






45. 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.






46. The percentage of waste materials diverted from traditional disposal such as landfilling or incineration to be recycled - composted or reused (EPA)






47. Part of construction waste management plan






48. Long term maintenance of ecosystem components and functions for future generations (EPA)






49. System or process for controlling the temperature - humidity - and sometimes the purity of the air in an interior space (office - warehouse - residence)






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