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

According to the LEED v4: Building Design + Construction Guide, the owner or an owner’s representative must be a member of the integrated project team for the Integrative Process Prerequisite, Integrative Project Planning and Design. The owner or an owner’s representative is responsible for establishing the project’s vision, goals, budget, and schedule, as well as defining the owner’s project requirements (OPR) and participating in the design charrettes and reviews1. The owner or an owner’s representative also plays a key role in ensuring the continuity and alignment of the project’s performance and environmental objectives throughout all phases of the project1.

The other choices are not mandatory members of the integrated project team, although they may be involved in the integrative process depending on the project’s scope and needs. The general contractor is typically hired after the design phase and may not be involved in the predesign and schematic design analyses required by the prerequisite1. A LEED AP is a professional who has demonstrated knowledge and experience in applying the LEED rating system, but is not required to be part of the integrated project team, although it is recommended and rewarded by the LEED credit, Integrative Process1. The project’s mechanical engineer is one of the possible design consultants who may contribute to the integrative process, especially for the energy-related systems analysis, but is not required to be part of the integrated project team1.

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.

For LEED BD+C Location and Transportation (LT) Credit: Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses, Option 1: Surrounding Density, the project team must measure:

Residential density in dwelling units per acre (DU/acre) or dwelling units per hectare (DU/ha).

Non-residential density based on floor area ratio (FAR).

The density must be measured within a ¼-mile (0.40 km) radius of the project boundary.

This credit promotes high-density development and reduces urban sprawl, thereby improving access to amenities and public transportation.
