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






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






22. The practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource efficient throughout a building's life cycle from siting to design - construction - operation - maintenance - renovation and deconstruction. thi






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






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






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






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






27. Drinking water that is of sufficiently high quality so that it can be consumed or utilized without risk of immediate of long term harm






28. 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






29. 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






30. LEED certification fee is base on two factors.






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






32. 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






33. Ground areas that are vegetated and pervious. green roofs can be considered open space but only for urban areas






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






35. 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






36. Provide a consistent source of sound technical advice with respect to products - tools and services. TAGs act in an advisory capacity in responding to credit interpretation requests (CIRs) - credit rulings and credit ruling appeals while maintaining






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






38. Any method of powering an engine that does not involve solely petroleum (e.g. electric car - petrol-electric hybrid - solar powered)






39. A review of consumables waste of a project. essentially - finding out what makes up the projects waste can help determine ways to increase recycling or reduce waste through other methods






40. A material's ability to reflect sunlight measured on a scale of 0 (black) to 1 (white). a value of 0.0 indicates that the surface absorbs all solar radiation and a value of 1.0 represents total reflectivity.
