Question 1

To support acoustic comfort in a home, the maximum sone level for bathroom exhaust fans is:

A : 0.5

B : 1

C : 2

D : 3

Answer: B

Question 2

For a one-bedroom unit in a multi-family building, the minimum bathroom airflow requirement for intermittent local exhaust is:

A : 25 cfm (11 lps)

B : 50 cfm (23 lps)

C : 1 cfm per ft² (5.08 lps per m²)

Question 3

A project team targets concrete as a material to receive Environmentally Preferable Products credit for fly ash content. Due to weather conditions, the structural engineer suggests reducing the fly ash content in a small portion of the suspended slab areas to speed the curing process and achieve the required strength. The adjusted calculation shows that reduced fly ash in these areas will result in failure to achieve the targeted point. Which of the following is the most effective strategy that the LEED AP could pursue?

A : Submit a CIR requesting the low fly ash suspended slab be removed from the calculations

B : Ignore the engineer’s recommendation and proceed with the original design

C : Apply for a Regional Priority exemption since the local climate interfered with the project team’s best effort to achieve the point

D : Demand the project team slow the construction schedule so additional curing time will allow the required amount of fly ash to be used

Answer: B

Question 4

A single-family home meets the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit Prerequisite, Ventilation using a continuous exhaust strategy. Which of the following Indoor Environmental Quality credits are potential credit synergies?

A : Radon Control

B : Contaminant Control

C : Enhanced Combustion Venting

D : Enhanced Ventilation

Answer: D
