Actual exam question for US Green Building Council's LEED-AP-BD+C exam
Question #: 11
Topic #: 9
[All LEED-AP-BD+C Questions]

A project's massing and site orientation can have a direct impact on which of the following prerequisites?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Detailed

To gain formal pre-approval for a strategy previously awarded as an Innovation credit, the project team must submit a Credit Interpretation Request (CIR) to the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). This allows GBCI to evaluate whether the strategy meets the intent of LEED Innovation credits for the specific project context.

I'm a little confused by this question. The options cover a range of sustainability topics, and I'm not sure how massing and site orientation would specifically impact some of them like indoor air quality or commissioning. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I've got this. Massing and site orientation are all about energy efficiency and passive design strategies. So the correct answer has to be Minimum Energy Performance. That's the one that's most directly affected by those design choices.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. The options seem to cover different sustainability areas, but I'm not confident which one is directly impacted by massing and site orientation. I'll have to review my notes to refresh my memory on these prerequisites.

Hey, at least they didn't ask about the impact of massing and orientation on 'Dude, Where's My Car?' compliance. That would really throw me for a loop.

Oh, this one's easy - it's gotta be Construction Activity Pollution Prevention. The site orientation and massing can determine how much dust and debris gets kicked up during construction.
