✍️ Sample SFP Questions & Answers
1. Which strategy addresses 'sick building syndrome' most directly in an existing facility?
Sick building syndrome is primarily caused by poor IAQ; increasing ventilation and improving air filtration directly addresses contaminant dilution and removal.
2. What does 'Water Use Intensity' (WUI) measure in a facility context?
WUI normalizes water consumption by dividing total water use by the facility's conditioned floor area, enabling meaningful benchmarking across similar building types.
3. Which metric is most appropriate for benchmarking a facility's water efficiency against industry peers?
Water Use Intensity normalizes consumption by floor area, enabling fair comparison across facilities of different sizes.
4. What is the goal of sustainable maintenance planning?
The goal of sustainable maintenance planning is to minimize resource consumption over the entire lifecycle of a facility and its assets. This involves strategies like preventive maintenance, efficient use of materials, waste reduction, and optimizing energy and water use during maintenance activities. By adopting these practices, facilities can reduce their environmental footprint and operational costs.
5. How frequently should ongoing assessments be conducted in Certified Sustainability Facility Professional practice?
Ongoing assessments should follow established protocols and also respond to changing conditions.
6. A facility reduces its absolute GHG emissions by 10% but increases production by 30%. What happened to its GHG intensity?
Intensity is emissions divided by output; a 10% emission reduction while production grows 30% results in higher emissions per unit of output.
