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






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






25. 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






26. The use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function. a compact fluorescent light bulb that uses less energy than an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of light is an example. the decision to replace an incandescent

28. Gathering information - recognizing stakeholder needs - establishing project goals - & selecting site






29. 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.






30. The linear view of the life of a product - from creation to the end of useful life - ie disposal






31. LEED certification fee is base on two factors.






32. Water used for building systems such as boiler feed water - cooling water for heat exchangers - chillers - etc






33. A project must: Comply w/ Environmental Laws - Be a Complete - Permanent bldg/space - Use a reasonable Site Boundary - Comply with min' Floor Area requirements - Comply with min' Occup' Rates - Commit to Sharing whole bldg energy & water Usage Data






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






35. Used by the USGBC to weight credits in the LEED system. credits that reduce the greenhouse gas emissions are given more weight than those that do not

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






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






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






45. Green Bldg can reduce how much Water Use?






46. Different term from adaptive reuse because materials are reused in a way that is the same of similar to how it was used before - i.e. saving doors in an old project to be used as doors in the new project. in LEED - this material is calculated as a pe
