Actual exam question for CIPS's L3M6 exam
Question #: 14
Topic #: 3
[All L3M6 Questions]

Buildings that reduce or eliminate the negative impacts they have on the environment, and can even create positive impacts, which can be achieved in the design, construction, or operation phase, are known as what?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Green Buildings are designed, constructed, and operated to minimize or eliminate negative environmental impacts (e.g., energy waste, emissions) and potentially generate positive outcomes (e.g., carbon sequestration, biodiversity support). The CIPS L3M6 module defines them as structures incorporating sustainable features like energy-efficient systems, renewable energy, and eco-friendly materials across all phases---design (e.g., orientation for sunlight), construction (e.g., low-impact methods), and operation (e.g., smart energy management). Examples include LEED-certified buildings, which align with LO2's focus on reducing construction's ecological footprint.

This is a good test of our knowledge on sustainable design principles. I feel pretty confident I can eliminate the incorrect answers and select the right option, but I'll double-check my reasoning before submitting.
