LEED-AP-BD+C Exam Dumps : LEED AP Building Design + Construction (LEED AP BD+C)

Providing an educational program on the environmental and human health benefits of green building practices is a potential innovation strategy that is not addressed by any existing LEED credit. It also meets the criteria of being measurable, replicable, and having a positive impact on the project and the environment.

LEED BD+C Location and Transportation (LT) Credit: High Priority Site encourages development in locations with existing infrastructure to promote sustainable land use.

Option 1: Historic District applies to projects located in designated historic districts where at least 75% of land within ½ mile (0.80 km) is previously developed.

Brownfields (Option C) and Federal Renewal Communities (Option D) are separate site categories that fall under different High Priority Site options.

The ¾ mile (1.20 km) radius in Option A is incorrect, as LEED specifically sets the requirement at ½ mile (0.80 km).

To earn this credit under Option 1, a project in a historic district must demonstrate that the surrounding land is predominantly redeveloped.

The average flush rate for a dual flush toilet is calculated by weighting the high and low flush rates according to the frequency of use. According to the LEED Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction1, the frequency of use for male and female occupants is assumed to be as follows:

Male full flush: 1 time per day

Female full flush: 1 time per day

Male low flush: 2 times per day

Female low flush: 2 times per day

Therefore, the average flush rate for a dual flush toilet with a high flush rate of 1.6 gpf (6 lpf) and a low flush rate of 1.05 gpf (4 lpf) is:

6(1×1.6)+(1×1.6)+(2×1.05)+(2×1.05)​=1.19 gpf(4.5 lpf)
