Read the first 7 Indoor Environmental Quality flashcards as text

  1. What percentage of a project's regularly occupied floor area must have quality views to the outdoors to earn the LEED Quality Views credit?

    Answer: 75%

    LEED requires that 75% of all regularly occupied floor area have a direct line of sight to the outdoors through vision glazing to earn the Quality Views credit.

  2. Which of the following is NOT typically evaluated under LEED's Low-Emitting Materials credit?

    Answer: Structural concrete and rebar

    Structural concrete and rebar are not interior applied finish materials and do not emit VOCs into occupied spaces, so they are excluded from LEED's Low-Emitting Materials requirements.

  3. What is the primary focus of the LEED Interior Lighting credit?

    Answer: Providing occupant controls for lighting levels and quality in occupied spaces

    The Interior Lighting credit focuses on providing occupants with individual lighting controls that allow them to adjust lighting levels and quality to suit their needs and tasks.

  4. During construction, a LEED Construction IAQ Management Plan requires HVAC system openings and ducts to be protected by:

    Answer: Covering all diffusers, returns, and duct openings with plastic sheeting or filters

    LEED requires all HVAC openings to be covered with plastic sheeting or temporary filters during construction to prevent dust and contaminants from entering the duct system.

  5. What does the abbreviation 'STC' stand for in the context of the LEED Acoustic Performance credit?

    Answer: Sound Transmission Class

    STC stands for Sound Transmission Class, a rating that measures how well a building partition — such as a wall, floor, or ceiling — attenuates airborne sound.

  6. For naturally ventilated spaces, which chapter of ASHRAE 62.1 does LEED reference to demonstrate acceptable indoor air quality performance?

    Answer: Chapter 6

    ASHRAE 62.1 Chapter 6 addresses natural ventilation and provides the criteria LEED uses to evaluate naturally ventilated spaces for the Minimum IAQ Performance prerequisite.

  7. What is the primary intent of the LEED Enhanced IAQ Strategies credit relative to the Minimum IAQ Performance prerequisite?

    Answer: To exceed the prerequisite baseline and further improve indoor air quality through additional strategies

    The Enhanced IAQ Strategies credit rewards projects that go beyond the minimum prerequisites by implementing additional measures such as high-efficiency filtration, entryway systems, and enhanced monitoring.
