USGBC LEED-AP-Homes Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

TheLEED for Homes Rating System (v4)addresses fireplaces in theIndoor Environmental Quality (EQ) Credit: Enhanced Combustion Venting, which promotes safe combustion practices to prevent indoor air quality issues from fireplaces.

According to theLEED Reference Guide for Homes Design and Construction (v4):

EQ Credit: Enhanced Combustion Venting (1 point)

For fireplaces, install doors and ensure they are direct-vented or power-vented to prevent combustion byproducts from entering the home. Unvented fireplaces or appliances are not permitted due to indoor air quality risks.

TheLEED for Homes Rating System (v4)addresses minimum outdoor air ventilation requirements in theIndoor Environmental Quality (EQ) Prerequisite: Ventilation, which ensures adequate indoor air quality through proper ventilation design.

According to theLEED Reference Guide for Homes Design and Construction (v4):

EQ Prerequisite: Ventilation

Meet the minimum outdoor air ventilation requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2010, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings. This standard specifies minimum ventilation rates and other measures to provide acceptable indoor air quality in residential buildings.
