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. Info of a result of a system returning to the system so that the system can make appropriate modifications. think of a thermostat reading the indoor air temp. info must flow to make [this]. without info - changes are less likely to happen






2. Unit of measurement by which flow rate of toilets and other flushing devices such as urinals are measured and regulated






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

5. Excessive or obtrusive artificial light that obscures the stars in the night sky for city dwellers - interferes with astronomical observatories - and like any other form of pollution - disrupts ecosystems and has adverse health effects






6. A measure of the amount of illumination falling on a surface.






7. 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






8. Side effect or consequence of an industrial or commercial activity that affects other parties without this being reflected in the price of the goods or services involved - i.e. the pollution created in power generation for one state blown over anothe






9. A development company is designing a 7 story 1000 -000 sq ft condominium. He will be responsible for interior finishes - but not furniture/appliances. Which is the LEED rating system used?






10. 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.






11. Energy Use Intensity in term of unit






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






13. 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






14. 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.






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






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






17. A quantity between a site and the surrounding [area]. it is measured by pedestrian access to housing basic services such as restaurants - post offices - hospitals - libraries - etc.






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






19. 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






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






21. What is reduced when a project uses reclaimed water in its cooling towers?






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






23. A review process that identifies and selects the lowest lifecycle cost options in design - materials and processes that achieves the desired level of performance - reliability and customer satisfaction






24. Vehicle which has both a gas powered engine and an electric engine to achieve better fuel economy and lower emissions






25. Building that is energy and resource efficient






26. Systematic improvements in a market or segment of a market to achieve a lasting share of energy-efficient products and services - i.e. high efficiency washers replacing regular washing machines in the U.S.






27. What level of CO2 concentrations indicates inadequate ventilation?






28. Total area in square feet of all spaces in a building - including rooms - stairwells - elevators and hallways






29. A term used in the US to describe the heating or cooling capacity of a system or fuels. this is understood to represent [this]'s per hour when referring to power. this derives its measurement from the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperatur






30. Properties or patterns that a complex system has - but which the individual members do not have. the end result is that the system now has more than just the sum of its parts. for example - saltiness is a property that neither sodium or chlorine have






31. Green Bldg can reduce how much CO2 Emissions?






32. Similar to a bioswale - a depression with vegetation that filters and slows down rainwater to reduce peak discharge rates






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






34. Purchase price of a hard asset such as masonry - wood - steel - carpet - tile - mechanical systems - roofing






35. Process water can be reduced by which 2 methods?






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






37. 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






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






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






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






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






42. Energy generated from natural resources - such as sunlight - wind - tides and geothermal heat - which are naturally replenished






43. The measurement method for defining Irrigation Efficiency






44. 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






45. 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)






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






47. 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






48. 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






49. A control system capable of monitoring environmental and system loads and adjusting HVAC operations accordingly in order to conserve energy while maintaining comfort (EPA)
