Today's LEED AP BD+C Exam 

1. A project is developing tenant design and construction guidelines as part of its LEED Certification efforts. Which LEED Rating System is it likely pursuing?

Choose one

• A. Commercial Interiors
• B. Tenant Interiors
• C. Schools
• D. New Construction
• E. Core and Shell

Answer is (E) - The LEED for Core and Shell Rating System includes a Credit for developing design and construction guidelines for future tenants. 

2. Which is true regarding FAR (Floor to Area Ratio)?

Choose one

• A. FAR cannot be zero
• B. FAR cannot be greater than 1
• C. FAR cannot be greater than 100
• D. Higher FARs are preferred by LEED

Answer is (D) - Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) is the ratio of the total floor area of buildings on a certain location to the size of the land of that location. As a formula: Floor Area Ratio = (Total covered area on all floors of all buildings on a certain plot)/(Area of the plot). With respect to LEED, in general the greater the Floor to Area Ratio the better since it typically corresponds with a more dense development. Also, building ‘up’ rather than ‘out’ may minimize the land needed for the building footprint, leaving the possibility for more open space.

3. Which is most affected by the LEED Site Boundary? (Choose 2)

• A. Location of bike racks & showers
• B. Exterior light pollution
• C. Size of underground parking garage
• D. Determining where site disturbance must stop
