1- If a building owner selected a project site in an existing community with proximity to existing

utility lines and street networks, in which of the following ways would it save on project costs?

A. By increased availability of grid-source renewable energy

The proximity to utility lines has no bearing on whether or not the electricity comes from
renewables.
B. By reduced infrastructure costs

If a building owner locates the project near existing utilities, they can usually save on having
the utilities connected to the site because the distance and materials needed to do so would
be reduced.

Consider locating a rural house 500 ft. or 50 ft. from the nearest utility pole. The electric
company frequently charges customers to install the new line (with the exception of
participation in a utility co-op).
C. By reduced costs of electric transmission

The costs of the transmission would be the same.

D.By increased opportunities to participate in demand-response programs

The proximity to utility lines has no bearing on whether or not a demand-response program
is available.

2- What are the environmental benefits of selecting a previously developed site for a project?

A. Preserving open space

The question asks for an environmental benefit.

A greenfield is site that is undeveloped and in a natural state or has been used for
agriculture.

LEED prefers not building on greenfields but using previously developed land instead.
Preserving greenfields means more open space will be available.
B. The site would have a greater development density

The development density of the project depends on the building design, not the type of land
chosen.
 C. Local tax savings may be available

Tax savings are an economic benefit.

D.The site would be located near mass transit

A previously developed site doesn't mean mass transit will be available. There are plenty of
cities that have no or poor public transportation systems.

3- Which of the following use-type categories determine diverse uses?

A. Restaurants
B. Stores
C. Civic and community facilities
D.Food retail

Notes:

A diverse use is a distinct, officially recognized business, nonprofit, civic, religious, or governmental
organization, or dwelling units (residential use) or offices (commercial office use). It has a stationary
postal address and is publicly available. It does not include automated facilities such as ATMs,
vending machines, and touchscreens.

There are five categories of use types:

Food retail
Community-serving retail
Services
Civic and community facilities
Community anchor uses
4- Which of the following is a priority designation used in LEED?

A. To help projects locate near existing infrastructure

B. To prevent project teams from building in sensitive habitats
C. To encourage investment in economically disadvantaged or low-income areas

The high-priority site credit helps project teams identify priority development areas. LEED
projects can earn points for building in what tend to be disadvantaged neighborhoods.
D.To encourage project teams to build in a LEED-ND project area

5- What is NOT an example of smart growth?

A. Retail, office, and residential townhouses on the site of a former gas station
B. Residential development on a previously developed site located near shops and schools
C. Development of a site that is far from existing development and infrastructure
 Smart growth is developing in areas near transportation, housing, and jobs in order to leave
open spaces and farmland free from development.

This example of development is most likely on a greenfield which is not preferable to infill
development.
D.Neighborhood design that has offices and shops within walking distance to public
transportation

6- What urban area is a best choice for a LEED project?

A. Areas without existing infrastructure

Projects far from existing infrastructure require more natural resources to connect the
building to utilities and highways.
B. Areas with zero-lot-lines

Zero-lot-lines are sites with little to no open space.

C. Areas with high development density

Choosing urban areas that are previously developed with high development densities can
earn LEED credit.
D.Areas that have not been previously developed

Projects cannot earn credits for building on lots that are not previously developed.

7- Selecting which of the following sites would have the greatest positive environmental impact?

A. Parkland near diverse uses

Parkland is open space (though not for the project) and should be avoided for building on.
B. Locating the project near public parking

Locating the project near public parking may reduce the project's parking needs but this is
not the best answer choice.
C. An old building

Redeveloping (or reuse) of an existing building significantly minimizes the project's impact
on the environment. It also provides the project team opportunity to reuse existing
infrastructure.
D.A previously undeveloped site

This is a greenfield site and would not be the best choice for building on.

8- Locating a project in any of the high-priority site types can increase the likelihood of which of
the following:

A. The project being in a dense area served by transit and diverse uses
B. The project being located on a greenfield
 High-priority sites are not greenfields.
C. The project site having sensitive habitat

High-priority sites and sensitive habitat are unrelated.

D.The project not being located on a brownfield

A brownfield is a type of high-priority site, so the likelihood would increase.

9- Which of the following is aided by the avoidance of building on sensitive land or previously
undeveloped land?

A. Reducing vehicle miles traveled

B. Brownfield remediation
C. Rainwater management

If undeveloped site areas are left undisturbed, this may help with managing rainwater
runoff.
D.Reducing parking footprint

10- Which of the following are examples of infill development?

A. A design that increases the number of units of residential space per acre

This is an example of a compact development strategy. The project is putting more people
in a given amount of space. This reduces the need for additional construction elsewhere to
accommodate the same amount of people.
B. The development of a brownfield site

This is brownfield development. Brownfield sites often occur on infill sites, but not always.
C. An office project on a previously developed site in a city center

This example is a type of infill project.

D.A store built between two existing urban buildings

This example is a type of infill project.

Notes:

Infill development occurs within established urban areas where the site or area either is a vacant place
between other developments or has previously been used for another urban purpo
11- If a project team is interested in developing on a previously developed site but this
option is infeasible, which of the following options should the project team consider next?

A. Locating prime farmland

Prime farmland is a type of sensitive habitat that should be avoided.

B. Not disturbing sensitive land types

If previously developed land is not an option, the next best thing is trying not to disturb
sensitive land types:
 Prime farmland
Floodplains
Endangered habitat
Water bodies
Wetlands
C. Conducting a soil survey

A soil survey is one aspect of determining whether land is sensitive.

D.Developing on a greenfield

Developing on greenfields should be avoided if possible.

12- What factors related to location would NOT affect a project team's priorities?

A. There are no banks nearby that provide construction loans

B. The area only receives 12" (30 cm) of rainfall each year
C. Local zoning requires all buildings to be no more than four stories high
D.The community emphasizes sports and athletics for all ages

Notes:

The natural surroundings of a project, the available infrastructure, and the history of the area are all
factors that may impact project decisions.

A project's natural surroundings can include the quantity of sunshine, soil types, precipitation, native
vegetation.

The human factors of the site, or its social aspects may include the history of the area, connections to
other areas, local codes and regulations, the people who live there and their traditions. For example in
New Orleans you might have a community that has a tradition of music. In many southern towns in
the United States there is an emphasis on football and sports.

The available infrastructure would be important to also identify - materials that are available,
highways and roads, public transit, electricity and water utilities.
13- Which of the following is an acceptable way to encourage building users to choose
alternative transportation?

A. Install preferred parking

See the LT Overview section of the reference.

 Preferred parking is 'the parking spots closest to the main entrance of a building (exclusive
of spaces designated for handicapped persons). For employee parking, it refers to the spots
that are closest to the entrance used by employees.' - USGBC

Preferred parking is a perk for users that drive alternative transportation (green vehicles).

In LEED, to meet the requirements of the Green Vehicles credit, preferred parking must be
provided for these vehicles.
B. Allow off-street parking

LEED discourages off-street parking for credits.

C. Share parking among two or more buildings

Sharing parking is a way to offset parking costs between multiple buildings.

D.Install multi-level parking

Multi-level parking or parking garages does not encourage a user to choose a different
mode of transportation.

14- What is the impact of creating a dense, compact mixed-use neighborhood?

A. Less pavement for roads and less infrastructure for utilities

If buildings are closer together and hold more occupants, less roads and utility
infrastructure is required. This saves on materials which reduces demand for virgin
materials and transportation of those materials.
B. Decreased availability of alternative transportation
C. Increased in flooding from stormwater runoff and the heat island effect
D.Increased in the travel time to work for occupants

15- In which of the following instances would a project team need to use the ITE
Transportation Planning Handbook?

A. When calculating a project's parking capacity

When reducing parking, project teams will use the ITE Transportation Planning Handbook to
determine recommended parking.
B. When determining if a bicycle network is adequate
C. When locating existing rights-of-way when determining surrounding density
D.When reviewing, planned future public transportation routes

16- What encourages the purchase and use of green vehicles?

A. Locating the project in a dense neighborhood

This is not a LEED strategy to encourage the purchase and use of green vehicles.
B. Providing preferred parking for those vehicles
 Preferred parking (parking closest to the building) for green vehicles promotes their
purchase.

Preferred parking is a strategy by LEED to reduce automobile use.

Preferred parking spaces are parking spaces that are closest to the main entrance of a
project, but they do not include handicapped parking. Other forms of preferred parking
include discounted parking passes, designated covered spaces, and guaranteed passes in a
lottery system.
C. Providing solar car ports

This is not a LEED strategy to encourage the purchase and use of green vehicles.
D.Designing the project to be mixed-use

This is not a LEED strategy to encourage the purchase and use of green vehicles.

17- A project team is reviewing potential sites for a new office building. Which of the
following sites would be preferred?

A. Selecting a site that requires occupants to drive 40 minutes each way to the building

The driving distance would not make this a good site.

B. Building on a greenfield

Greenfield sites are not preferred for LEED.

C. Locating the site in an area with pedestrian access to 4 retail shops

This is good to promote walkability and reduce vehicle distance traveled, but LEED prefers a
variety of diverse uses - not just retail shops.
D.Choosing a site in a LEED for Neighborhood Development location

Project teams that select to build in a LEED-ND neighborhood are choosing a site that has
connection with the surrounding community and good location and transportation attributes
already. Note that LEED-ND projects may include residential uses, non-residential uses, or a
mix.
Notes:

This question asks how to avoid picking an inappropriate site. In other words, what is the most
appropriate site that will have the greatest positive impact from the available choices?
18- Which of the following actions can a project team take to increase the density of the
project building?

A. Locate the building in a dense neighborhood

 This helps with the density credit, but not the density of the building itself. The question
does not ask about the surrounding density that is for a credit.
B. Locate the project near a variety of use types

This would help with credit for diverse uses.

C. Select an infill site for the building

This can help with selecting high-priority sites.

D.Create a smaller footprint and maximize the floor-area ratio

Density is a measure of the total building floor area or dwelling units on a parcel of land
relative to the buildable land of that parcel.

19- How would a bicycle network be documented for a project?

A. By drawing a straight-line radius from the origin and the bicycling segments in the radius.

A radius is not how bicycle networks are documented.

B. By creating a map showing the project, project boundary, transit stop locations, and walking
routes and distances.
This is how access to quality transit is documented.
C. By use the area plan or map showing the project site and location of existing and planned
bicycle networks within a quarter-mile (400-meter) radius of the project site.
A radius is not how bicycle networks are documented. This choice has parts of how density
would be calculated.

Remember that the radius is used to calculated density only, not bicycle networks or diverse
uses.
D.By including a vicinity map showing the bicycle network, route, and distance along the
network to eligible destinations
This is how the credit is documented.

20- A vehicle meeting which standard would be considered a green vehicle?

A. Green-e Certified

Green-e is a program established to promote green electricity products and provide

consumers with a nationally recognized method to identify those products.
B. Vehicle with a minimum green score of 45 on the ACEEE annual vehicle guide

Vehicles must have a green score of 45 or more from the ACEEE annual vehicle rating guide
to qualify for LEED credit.
C. EPA Transportation and Air Quality standard

This is not correct.

D.SCAQMD air quality standards

SCAQMD is an air pollution control agency.

21- A project team wants to reuse a building in a historic district for a project. Which of the
following credit areas will this aid?

A. Sensitive land protection

Sensitive land includes:

Prime farmland
Floodplains
Endangered habitat
Water bodies
Wetlands
B. Building lifecycle impact reduction

Building lifecycle impact reduction is rewarded in the Materials credits.

C. Protecting or restoring habitat

Protecting or restoring habitat is the preservation/restoration of previously developed land.

All that is known about the project in this question is that the building will be reused.
D.High-priority sites

A historic building is a type of high-priority site LEED rewards projects for choosing.

22- Decreasing the parking footprint of a project can be accomplished by which of the
following actions?

A. Separating employee and visitor parking

This doesn't reduce parking, it re-arranges it.

B. Locating projects in high-density, mixed-use areas

High-density, mixed-use areas are usually served by public transportation, giving users the
opportunity to choose alternative transportation and not drive.
C. Not including the parking area in the LEED project boundary

This would not be accepted by the LEED reviewer as a way to reduce parking.
D.Instituting transportation demand management strategies

Transportation demand strategies are things like providing preferred parking to carpools
that can reduce single-occupancy vehicle use:

Telecommuting
Compressed workweeks
Shuttle service between the site and commercial/residential centers
Subsidize public transportation to users to encourage them to use it
E. Building in places well served by transit
 Public transportation gives users the opportunity to choose alternative transportation and
not drive.

23- A project team developing a library on a greenfield site decides to reduce the project's
parking footprint. Which of the following additional areas of the project could this also aid?

A. Encouraging walkable design

The size of a parking lot doesn't equate to increasing walkability.

B. Restoring habitat

This protects habitat, it does not restore it.

C. Increasing the project density

Reducing the parking does not increase a project's density.

D.Protecting sensitive land

One of the synergies with parking reduction is that the land now not being used for parking
is being protected from development, reducing the environmental impact from the location
of a building on a site.

24- Which of the following are reasons an owner should build a new construction project in
a LEED for Neighborhood Development location?

A. The project would have excellent location and transportation within the surrounding
community.
Project teams that select to build in a LEED-ND neighborhood are choosing a site that has
connection with the surrounding community and both a good location and transportation
attributes already.

LEED projects can earn credit for locating the project in a LEED-ND neighborhood.
B. The project would earn an innovation credit.

The project does not earn an innovation credit.

C. The project certification fees would be reduced.

The certification fees would be the same.

D.The certification process would be easier.

By locating a project in a LEED-ND location, the LT credits are streamlined because the
LEED-ND project already has all of the necessary documentation for the LT credits; therefore
the certification process is easier.

25- A project team is removing from the design a solar car shading device that also serves
as a fueling station. Which of the following is this most likely to impact?

A. Green vehicles
 Green vehicles require recharging stations. Taking away the fueling station impacts this
requirement.
B. Heat island reduction

Solar car shading devices are a shading strategy for reducing heat islands.
C. Reduced parking footprint

This has no impact on the parking footprint.

D.Rainwater management

The shading device does not impact rainwater management.

26- Which of the following site types is considered high-priority?

A. Area on or within fifty feet (fifteen meters) of a wetland

This is considered sensitive land.

B. Land with endangered habitat

This is considered sensitive land.

C. Historic district

High priority sites include:

Historic districts
Priority designation sites (Federal Empowerment Zones, EPA National Priorities List, etc.)
Brownfield
D.Previously developed land

27- What credit category rewards project teams for taking advantage of existing patterns of
development and land density?

A. Regional Priority
B. Sustainable Sites

Sustainable Sites address on-site ecosystems.

C. Innovation
D.Location and Transportation

LT focuses on the surrounding community of the project and what currently exists - is there
public transportation, existing infrastructure, a previously developed site to build on, etc.?

28- Developments located within walking distance of diverse uses reduce:

A. Sedimentation of nearby water bodies

Erosion control, rainwater management, and landscape design reduce sedimentation.

B. Water use

Water use is affected by irrigation practices and fixture/fitting types.

 C. Air pollution
D.Greenhouse gas emissions

Notes:

Locating a project near diverse uses helps promote walkability, transportation efficiency and reduce
vehicle distance traveled. It also improves public health by encouraging daily physical activity. It is
measured by pedestrian access to diverse uses such as restaurants, post offices, hospitals, libraries,
etc.
29- If a project owner locates a building close to a bicycle network, which of the following
project elements could decrease?

A. The number of diverse uses

B. Surrounding density
C. Parking

Reducing parking is a LEED strategy for encouraging alternative transportation. Likewise,

locating a project near a bicycle network is intended to reduce vehicle miles traveled and
thus the parking required for those vehicles (local code permitting).
D.Rainwater runoff

30- A developer is planning a mixed-use project that will include 1,000 single family
homes, office space, retail, and townhomes. Which of the following neighborhood design
strategies help promote community connectivity?

A. Providing housing types for a wide range of incomes

This helps with the human element of the triple bottom line but having a diverse
neighborhood does not promote connectivity.
B. Gated communities

Gated communities block people from moving freely through the community to get to the
other side, hindering walkability.
C. Street-grid patterns

A street pattern is how the streets are laid out. A street-grid pattern is one in which streets
are laid out in squares/rectangles. Consider a city center that has blocks and how quickly
individuals can get around compared to a suburban area in which the streets are not
designed in a grid.
D.Cul-de-sacs

Cul-de-sacs are dead ends that don't connect to anything.

Notes:

Walkability is what LEED calls connectivity, and it is the ability for people to get from place to place
easily without using automobiles. Connectivity encourages walking by making it easier for people to
get around.

When developing communities focus on creating sustainable sites, this includes designing walkable
streets, promoting connectivity by using a street-grid pattern, providing diverse land uses that
include a mix of services (such as shops and restaurants), and creating a diverse community by
providing housing types for a wide range of incomes and promoting alternative transportation.
31- Which of the following is aided by locating a project within a dense area?

A. Increased diversity

A dense area does not translate into an area with a wide range of housing types, incomes,
and abilities.
B. Preserving historic districts

A dense area may or may not have historic districts.

C. Promoting vehicles with alternative fuels

Alternative fuel vehicles are unrelated to dense neighborhoods.

D.Promoting walkability

A dense area with services close by promotes walking.

32- How would access to quality transit be documented?

A. By an area plan or map showing the project site and location of transit stop locations within
a 1/2 mile (800-meter) radius of the project site
No, access to quality transit does not use a radius for calculations/documentation.
B. By a map showing the project site, location, type of transportation resources, and driving
distances to each location.
This choice has the driving distance to each resource. Access to quality transit does not
include driving to the transit.
C. By a map showing the project, project boundary, transit stop locations, walking routes, and
distances to those stops
D.By an area plan or map showing the project site and location of transit stop locations within
a 1/4 mile (400-meter) radius of the project site
No, access to quality transit does not use a radius for calculations/documentation.

33- LEED rewards projects for all of the following design strategies EXCEPT which of the
following:

A. Locating the project in a historic district

LEED does reward projects for locating in high-priority sites such as:
 Historic district
Priority designation (Federal Empowerment Zone, EPA national priorities list, Federal
Renewal Community site, etc.)
Brownfield
B. Locating the project near existing utilities

While locating the project near existing infrastructure reduces the strain on the
environment, LEED does not award points for a strategy such as locating a project close to
existing power or sewer lines.
C. Limiting parking

LEED does reward projects for reducing parking.

By limiting parking, a project team may encourage the building users to consider and take
other forms of transportation other than a car.
D.Locating the project in an area with nearby uses

LEED does reward projects for locating near diverse uses.

Locating a project near diverse uses helps promote walkability, transportation efficiency,
and reduce vehicle distance traveled.
34- Which of the following can project teams use to identify a sensitive habitat?

A. The Natural Heritage Program

People from this agency can assist with determining sensitive habitats on land.
B. The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)

Arborists certified by ISA can determine tree conditions on a site.

C. The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations

This defines prime farmland.

D.State fish and wildlife agencies (or local equivalent)

People from this agency can assist with determining sensitive habitats on land.

35- Which of the following does NOT support users seeking alternative transportation
options?

A. Sharing parking among two or more buildings

B. Installing bicycle storage

Bicycle storage gives people an option to bike to work and store their bicycle securely.
C. Providing preferred parking for green vehicles

Providing preferred parking is a perk for driving a green vehicle to the building.
 Preferred parking is defined as 'the parking spots closest to the main entrance of a building
(exclusive of spaces designated for handicapped persons). For employee parking, it refers to
the spots that are closest to the entrance used by employees.' - USGBC
D.Including alternative-fuel facilities

Alternative fueling stations (electric chargers) allow people with electric vehicles to charge
their vehicles at the project site.

36- How could a remote project located away from public transportation reduce its
transportation effects?

A. Encourage carpooling

Transportation demand strategies that can reduce single-occupancy vehicle use include:

Locating a project near public transportation

Encouraging carpooling
Encouraging walking or bicycling
Providing preferred parking for green vehicles
Discounted transportation passes for buses, rails, ferry's, etc.
Telecommuting
Compressed workweeks
B. Stagger work hours for users

This would not reduce anything.

C. Locate a project site near a park
D.Install pervious pavement

Pervious pavement helps with rainwater management and reducing heat islands.

37- What is a benefit of selecting a project location surrounded by existing built density?

A. Increased availability of rainwater

B. Reduction of heat islands
C. More lenient zoning rules
D.Protection of undeveloped land

Locating a project in an area with dense surroundings conserves land and protect farmland
and wildlife habitat by encouraging development in areas with existing infrastructure.

38- What site selection would promote walkability and reduce vehicle distance traveled?

A. A site near a solar garden

B. A site near mass transit
 Access to public transportation (mass transit) helps with reducing automobile use in the
LEED Rating Systems, however picking a site near mass transit does not necessarily promote
walkability.
C. A site near public parking

A parking lot or parking garage is not defined by LEED as a diverse use. A public park is
defined by LEED as a diverse use.
D.A site with pedestrian access between diverse uses

Notes:

A diverse use is a distinct, officially recognized business, nonprofit, civic, religious, or governmental
organization, or dwelling units (residential use) or offices (commercial office use). It has a stationary
postal address and is publicly available. It does not include automated facilities such as ATMs,
vending machines, and touchscreens.

Examples include:

Bank
Church
Supermarket / convenience store
Day care
Dry cleaner / laundry mat
Fire station
Salon
Hardware store
Library
Medical / dental office
Park
Pharmacy
Post office
Restaurant
School
Theatre / museum
Community center
Gym
39- What is a brownfield?

A. Gaps between existing infrastructure

This is also infill.

B. An infill site

Infill development occurs within established urban areas where the site or area either is a
vacant place between other developments or has previously been used for another urban
purpose.
C. A site that has been graded

A graded site is previously developed, but not a brownfield.

D.Previously used or redeveloped land that may be contaminated with hazardous waste or
pollution

Brownfields are previously used or redeveloped land that may be contaminated with
hazardous waste or pollution (-USGBC). The land has the potential to be reused once any
hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants are remediated.

Projects may get special deals on developing on these sites if the owner cleans them up
first.
40- Which of these sites if selected would most help with increasing diversity of uses?

A. A site within walking distance to a public park

A diverse use is a distinct, officially recognized business, nonprofit, civic, religious, or

governmental organization, or dwelling units (residential use) or offices (commercial office
use). It has a stationary postal address and is publicly available. It does not include
automated facilities such as ATMs, vending machines, and touchscreens.

Examples include:

Bank
Church
Supermarket / convenience store
Day care
Dry cleaner / laundry mat
Fire station
Salon
Hardware store
Library
 Medical / dental office
Park
Pharmacy
Post office
Restaurant
School
Theatre / museum
Community center
Gym
B. A site that has underground parking and open space on the property

Open space on the site does not count as a diverse use.

C. A site located within walking distance of a commuter rail line

This would help with providing public transportation access.

D.A site located next door to an ATM

Residences are not a type of diverse use.

41- Which of the following helps encourage building users to take alternative
transportation?

A. Sharing parking among two or more buildings

B. Reducing the number of bicycle spaces
C. Including off-street parking spaces
D.Using permeable paving for parking lots
E. Limiting parking

A LEED strategy to reduce occupants from driving their own vehicles to the project site is to
make it harder for them to find a parking spaces. (It's true!) This encourages the users to
seek other modes of transportation.

42- The use of a brownfield site can enhance a community. What must occur for a
brownfield site to be developed?

A. The site must be located in a suburban area

Brownfield can be found in urban and suburban areas.

B. The site must be revegetated

Brownfields must be remediated but they are not required to have the site revegetated for
development.
C. The site must be located along existing roads

A contaminated site may or may not be near existing roads. For example a remote toxic
waste dump from 80 years ago may have grown over and have no access.
 D.The site must be remediated

Brownfields are previously used or redeveloped land that may be contaminated with
hazardous waste or pollution (-USGBC). The land has the potential to be reused once any
hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants are remediated.

43- Which of the following is NOT a type of diverse use?

A. An ATM

A diverse use is 'a distinct, officially recognize business, nonprofit, civic, religious, or
governmental organization, or dwelling units (residential use) or offices (commercial office
use). It has a stationary postal address and is publicly available. It does not include
automated facilities such as ATMs, vending machines, and touchscreens.' - USGBC
B. A police station
C. A barber shop
D.A public park

44- A health-conscious business owner wants to consider design selections that would
encourage employee health. Which of the following strategies meet this goal?

A. Locate the project near public transportation

While access to quality transit can encourage some physical activity � such as walking to
the bus stop - the intent of this LEED credit is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air
pollution, and other environmental and public health harms associated with motor vehicle
use.
B. Site the project near a city's downtown area

What are you going to find in any downtown / city center? Sidewalks and diverse uses.
Sidewalks promote walking, and diverse uses give people somewhere to walk.
C. Install preferred parking spots for green vehicles

This helps reduce automobile use.

D.Select a site that has existing infrastructure

This helps conserve natural resources.

E. Build within walking distance of a bicycle network

Locating a project near a bicycle network provides an opportunity for people to bike to
work.
Notes:

Employee health is going to primarily addressed in two categories:

Indoor Environmental Quality - indoor health

Location and Transportation - outdoor strategies that encourage physical activity

Which choices help with indoor health and encourage physical activity?
45- How would the distance from a building's entrance to the nearest bus stop be
measured?

A. By determining the straight-line radius from point to point.

LEED v2009 uses a straight-line radius.

B. By calculating the walking distance along infrastructure that is safe and comfortable for
pedestrians

When calculating the walking distance for credits such as Diverse Uses, a walkable route is
used for the measurement. LEED 2009 used a radius to calculate the distance, but this did
not accurately determine pedestrian access.
C. By calculating the street and/or bicycle network distance
D.By determining the street network distance, excluding private drives
