1. A Green Education program is widely known as an innovative strategy worthy of an ID point in the LEED rating systems. What characteristics does this program display that must be present in all innovative performance strategies? ‘A Comprehensive FB unique © Quantifiable Fo rare Notes: The 3 basic criteria for achieving an ID eredit for a category not found in the LEED rating system 1. Quantitative. This means the concept must have measurable/quantifiable environmental benefits. Establish a baseline and compare It with the final outcome to determine the improvement. How much environmental benefit did the strategy achieve? 2. Comprehensive. The process or specification must be comprehensive. For example, if a new material could be used in every floor of a building, the project team can’t use it in Just one floor. A process that only addresses a part of the project isn't considered comprehensive and does not meet the credit requirements, 3. Transferable. The concept must be able to be used on other projects by other project teams. It can't be a concept that only applies to a unique aspect of one project. 2. Which of the following would be a good candidate for a Pilot Credit? © A A strategy that requires the use of a specific brand of material to improve the indoorPilot credits that give points for the use of a single product will not be approved. ©z A oreen busing topic not found inthe rating system The LEED Pilot Credit Library is a rating system development tool designed to test new and revised LEED credit language, alternative compliance paths, and new or innovative green building technologies and concepts. This is a classic style question where there are several invalid choices, and instead of, displaying the invalid option an example of each option is used instead. See the other answer choices for what isn't allowed, then compare it to how the answer choice was ‘written. It isn't enough to know what isn't allowed, be sure to understand examples of each. © © An energy saving technology that can only be met with ENERGY STAR products Proposals that require the use of a single certification program or rating standard to the exclusion of all others are also not permitted. © D Ammethod to reduce the heat island effect using shading Pilot credit proposals with requirements already found in the LEED rating system will not. be approved. Notes: When a pilot credit proposal is received, it will be evaluated by USGBC staff for completeness. Pilot credits proposals must include an intent, requirements and submittal documentation, survey feedback questions, an identified quest expert, rating system applicability as well as anybackground or supporting information that should be considered. Proposals are then evaluated across a number of metrics including (but not limited to) applicability to the goals of LEED, relative impact compared to other LEED credits or pilot credits, technical rigor and achievability, giving preference to performance based credits. Pilot credit proposals with requirements already found in the LEED rating system will not be approved. Pilot credits that give points for the use of a single product will not be approved Proposals that require the use of a single certification program or rating standard to the exclusion of all others are also not permitted 3. Which action might occur if a landscape architect is given primary responsibility for WE Credit Outdoor Water Use Reduction, while a plumbing engineer is assigned a supporting role for the credit? © A Documentation consistency would decrease Have two sets of eyes on the documentation would increase the consistency. © integrative design would be fostered Having multiple disciplines assigned to a credit can help find better solutions. © © Additional required meetings would cause the project schedule to grow This is not likely.
