USGBC LEED-AP-BD+C Actual Questions

Quality views are defined in LEED as those which consist of multiple elements of nature, weather, or movement that allow for a connection beyond the interior space. Views that allow a clear line of sight to the exterior via vision glazing, with a view factor of 3 or greater, qualify for this credit. Fixed glazing in common spaces can also contribute to this credit.

A current facilities requirements and operations and maintenance plan must contain any changes in schedules or setpoints for different seasons, days of the week, and times of day. This is to ensure that the building systems are operating efficiently and according to the design intent. The other options are too limited or too specific and do not cover all the possible variations in schedules or setpoints.

The outdoor airflow rate is the amount of outdoor air that is supplied to the building by the ventilation system to dilute indoor air pollutants and provide fresh air for the occupants.  The outdoor airflow rate depends on the ventilation standard that the project follows, which can be either ASHRAE 62.1-2010 or CEN Standard EN 15251-2007 1 . Both standards specify the minimum outdoor airflow rate per person and per unit area for different occupancy types and zones. Therefore, increasing the number of occupants will require an increase in the outdoor airflow rate to maintain the minimum ventilation level. The other variables, such as supply air velocity, system ventilation efficiency, and supply air temperature set point, do not directly affect the outdoor airflow rate, although they may influence the energy consumption and thermal comfort of the ventilation system.

For LEED BD+C Energy and Atmosphere (EA) Prerequisite: Fundamental Commissioning and Verification , the CxA is responsible for verifying that building systems are properly installed and functioning correctly .

This ensures compliance with the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) and basis of design (BOD) .

Developing a systems manual (Option D) is required for Enhanced Commissioning, not Fundamental Commissioning .

Reviewing the building after 10 months (Option B) is also part of Enhanced Commissioning, not Fundamental Commissioning .

Training verification (Option C) is beneficial but not a core responsibility for Fundamental Commissioning .

Verifying installation and performance (Option A) is the primary requirement for the CxA under Fundamental Commissioning.
