USGBC LEED-AP-BD+C Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Temporary wood products cannot be included in the calculations for the Materials and Resources Credit, Building Disclosure and Optimization - Sourcing of Raw Materials, Option 2. Leadership Extraction Practices. This is because the credit only applies to permanently installed building products, not to products purchased for temporary use on the project1. The other options are false. If any temporary wood materials are included in the calculation, they must be excluded from the total value of permanently installed building products1. Non-certified wood materials do not contribute to other credits, unless they meet other criteria such as recycled content or regional materials2. FSC-certified wood materials purchased for more than one project cannot be applied to other projects seeking LEED certification, unless they are reused or salvaged materials3.

Adding a concrete walkway will increase the site’s impervious cover, which is the percentage of the site area that does not allow water to infiltrate into the ground1. Impervious cover can affect the site’s stormwater management, heat island effect, and habitat quality. The project team should consider using permeable paving materials, vegetated roofs, or rain gardens to reduce the impervious cover and mitigate its impacts2. The other options are not directly impacted by adding a concrete walkway. Project density calculations are based on the floor area ratio and the number of occupants, not the site features3. Erosion and sediment control plan during construction is required for any site disturbance, regardless of the type of material used4. Air quality as a result of off gassing that occurs as concrete cures is not a significant issue for outdoor applications, and can be minimized by using low-emitting concrete products5.

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.
