Question2: Which of the following is the objective of exterior light pollution reduction?
Reason:
The last option is a means of complying with light pollution reduction, not the objective. The purpose of reducing
exterior light pollution is to enhance the nocturnal environment and to increase night sky access.
Reason:
LEED defines heat island effect as when an urban area’s temperature is at least 10 degrees higher than the
surrounding suburban or rural areas.

Municipal water
Harvested rain water
Wastewater from toilets
Reason:
Wastewater from toilets is always considered black water.
Question7:
Which of the following does not have high thermal emissivity and solar reflectivity?
Reason:
A high SRI value is an indicator of high solar reflectivity and thermal emissivity. White cement and white china
mosaic are high SRI materials.
Question8:
The performance of a factory under IGBC Green Factory Buildings is measured by which number of
categories?
7
5
6
4
Reason:
Refer to the IGBC Green Factory Buildings score card.
Question9:
A green roof addresses which of the following concerns of LEED?
Reason:
A green roof does not address light pollution. Xeriscaping is a strategy to address water efficiency.

Question10:
What is a LEED project boundary?
Reason:
The project team determines whether the LEED project boundary is a portion of the development or the total
project area, which they then submit for LEED certification. This must be consistent throughout the calculations for
all of the credits.
Question11:
In order to limit disturbance and preserve natural topography of a green home site, which of the
following are considered as landscape?
Potted plants
Green roof
Walkways
Soft landscape
Reason:
Refer to the natural topography or landscape credit under Site Selection and Planning of the IGBC Green Homes
rating system.
Question12:
What is the acceptable minimum efficiency reporting value for air filtration media to minimize and
control pollutant entry into buildings?
MERV 13 or higher
MERV 8 or higher
MERV 1
MERV 5
Reason:
The project team determines whether the LEED project boundary is a portion of the development or the total
project area, which they then submit for LEED certification. This must be consistent throughout the calculations for
all of the credits.
Question13:
What are the advantages of adaptive plants? (Choose 2)
They take over the area and push out other plants
They require cheaper pesticides
They require less irrigation
They restore the ecosystem
Reason:
Native or adaptive plants are adapted to the local environment and require little or no irrigation or pesticides.

Question14:
Which of the following is not a basic service?
Airport
Hospital
Beauty clinic
Theatre
Reason:
An airport is not a basic service, so it does not need to be within a 1/2 mile of the LEED project.
Question15:
Which of the following is a passive design technique for optimizing energy performance?
Reason:
Energy simulation is only an evaluation technique. Orientation is a passive strategy that optimizes energy
performance.
Question16:
Which of the following products does LEED recommend for recycling?
Paper
Plastic
Batteries
Earth
Reason:
Options 3 and 4 represent hazardous materials and excavated soil, which are not a part of LEED Calculations.
Question17:
Which of the following issues are addressed by the provision of adequate visitors’ parking?
Reason:
Parking spaces are usually the cause of heat island effect and storm water runoff. Adequate parking is a
functional requirement. Option D is a code and not an issue.
Question18:

12/10/21, 2:47 PM IGBC AP PRACTICE PAPER-2 | INDIAN GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL (IGBC)
Reason:
LEED requires third party commissioning.
Question19:
Which of the following supports early compliance of the Montreal Protocol?
Reason:
The Montreal Protocol directly addresses the substances that deplete the ozone layer, including
CFC, HCFC, and halons.
Question20:
Which of the following materials are considered regional materials?
Reason:
Regional materials are those extracted, processed and manufactured within an 800 km radius of the project site.
Question21:
Which of the following sites satisfy LEED requirements?
Prime farmland
Constructed wetlands
Site extremely close to lakes with scenic views
Brownfield site
Reason:
Options A, B, C are sites that are to be avoided during selection.
Question22:
What comfort temperatures are to be achieved in IGBC Green Factory Buildings?
28 +/2 deg C
24 +/2 deg C
22 +/2 deg C
https://igbcapexam.blogspot.com/p/igbc-ap-practice-paper-2.html 5/7
12/10/21, 2:47 PM IGBC AP PRACTICE PAPER-2 | INDIAN GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL (IGBC)
26 +/2 deg C
Reason:
According to ECBC (revised version May 2008) / ASHRAE 90.12004 standards, a factory’s whole building
simulation should use comfort temperatures of 28 +/2 deg C.
Question23:
What areas can be excluded from achieving the minimum daylight factor?
Copy room
Office cabins
Meeting room
Storage area
Reason:
Achieving the minimum daylight factor is not required for copy rooms, storage areas, mechanical, laundry, and
other low occupancy support areas.
Question24:
What are the measures of thermal comfort?
Air temperature
Relative humidity
Coefficient of performance
Fan speed
Reason:
Air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed, and relative humidity are the measures of thermal comfort.
Question25:
Which of the following types of energy meters enhances continuous monitoring and performance of a
factory building?
Reason:
Refer to the metering credit under Energy Conservation in IGBC’s guidelines for Green Factory Buildings.
Question26:
Which issues are typically components of energy efficiency guidelines? (Choose 2)
Effects of microclimate

Options C and D, though related to energy efficiency, are predominantly indoor air quality issues.
Question27:
Which of the following is a measure of a material’s ability to reject solar heat?
Infrared emissivity
SRI
Visible reflectance
Albedo
Reason:
Solar reflectance index, or SRI, is the measure of a material’s ability to reject solar heat. Albedo, or solar
reflectance, is the ratio of reflected solar energy to incoming solar energy. A material with high visible reflectance
has a low solar reflectance. Infrared emissivity is the ability to emit energy by radiation.
Question28:
What makes up the LEED credit equivalence process?
Identify the intent, requirements, submittals and design approach for the proposed innovation
Propose education of occupants
Propose green housekeeping
Propose innovative acoustic performance
Reason:
The LEED credit equivalence process is comprised of: identifying the intent of the proposed Innovation credit, the
proposed requirement for compliance, the proposed submittals to demonstrate compliance, and the design
approach used to meet the required elements.
Question29:
Which of the following are water efficient irrigation practices?
Scheduled watering
Weather based irrigation controls
Raised mowing
Xeriscaping
Reason:
Option 3 refers to landscape maintenance. Xeriscaping is a waterefficient landscaping practice.
