LEED-AP-O+M Exam Dumps : LEED AP Operations + Maintenance (LEED AP O+M)

This answer is correct because it follows the guidance provided by the LEED v4.1 O+M Reference Guide for dealing with nonparticipating tenants in multi-tenant buildings. The guide states that if a tenant is unwilling or unable to provide their purchasing data, the project team must integrate the estimated data from the nonparticipating tenant into the whole-building purchasing data to determine compliance for the whole building.The guide also states that the tenant’s purchasing is assumed to be 50% compliant toward the sustainability criteria, unless the project team has a more accurate estimate1. The other options are incorrect because they either make the credit impossible or too easy to achieve, or they do not account for the tenant’s purchasing at all.

The Indoor Air Quality Building Education and Assessment Model (I-BEAM) is a comprehensive tool designed for use by building professionals and others interested in indoor air quality (IAQ) in commercial buildings. I-BEAM updates and expands EPA’s Building Air Quality guidance and is designed to be comprehensive state-of-the-art guidance for managing IAQ in commercial buildings1. This guidance was designed to be used by in-house staff to conduct a building investigation to identify indoor air problems and to enhance indoor air quality1.

To increase the vegetated area of an existing urban site from 4% to equal or be greater than 5%, one effective strategy is to install a vegetated roof system. This approach not only increases the site's vegetated footprint but also provides additional benefits such as improved stormwater management, increased insulation, and reduction of the urban heat island effect. A vegetated roof system can be implemented on flat or slightly sloped roofs, making it a versatile option for urban environments where ground space may be limited. By converting unused roof space into green space, the project team can meet the goal of increasing the total vegetated area of the site.References:LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction, U.S. Green Building Council.
