Answer : C

The ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010 is the benchmark for energy efficiency in building design, providing minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of buildings except low-rise residential buildings. It is directly referenced in LEED v4 for the Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance, as it sets the baseline for energy performance.

Answer : B

For the Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Enhanced Commissioning, the Commissioning Authority (CxA) plays a crucial role in overseeing the commissioning process. The CxA must be independent of the project's design and construction team to maintain objectivity. An employee of the architecture or engineering firm involved in the project could potentially have a conflict of interest. Similarly, a member of the construction team could also have biases that might affect the commissioning process's integrity. Therefore, a sub-consultant to the architecture or engineering firm, who is not part of the project's design team, is an appropriate choice for the CxA role, ensuring independence and impartiality in the commissioning process.

Answer : B

For LEED Indoor Environmental Quality Credit concerning Interior Lighting, Option 1, the requirement is for 90% of building occupants to have individual lighting controls. Given that the tenant space includes 100 workstations and 10 enclosed offices intended for individual use, this means that a total of 110 workspaces require lighting control. To achieve one point, at least 90% of these occupants must have control over the lighting in their space. Therefore, the minimum number of occupants that would need individual lighting controls is 90% of 110, which calculates to 99 occupants (rounded down). However, as individual controls cannot be split between occupants, the actual minimum number would be 99 occupants. Option B is the closest answer to 99 without going under the required percentage.

Answer : B

The Commissioning (Cx) agent for Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Enhanced Commissioning, must be independent of the project's design and construction management to avoid conflicts of interest. This ensures that the Cx agent can objectively assess the project's performance and adherence to design intentions.

Answer : A

The Construction and Demolition Waste Management Calculation requires information about the waste stream (the different types of materials being disposed of), the total amount of waste generated, the amount of waste diverted from landfill through recycling or reuse, and the amount of waste that is actually sent to the landfill.
