Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The LEED project boundary is defined to include all contiguous land associated with the project and supports its typical operations.This encompasses land altered due to construction and features primarily used by the project's occupants, such as parking, sidewalks, and landscaping1. Therefore, the correct statement when defining the project boundary is option D, which aligns with the LEED guidelines that require the inclusion of contiguous land altered as a result of construction within the project boundary.

Option D is the way to go. I mean, you can't just ignore the surrounding land that's impacted by your construction, can you? That would be like trying to build a house and pretending the yard doesn't exist.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question is an architect who loves drawing project boundaries. D is clearly the right answer, but I'm tempted to say A just to mess with them.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I think C makes the most sense - the project should have a minimum size of 1,000 sq ft. Anything smaller doesn't seem like a real LEED project to me.

I think B is the correct answer. The LEED project should be limited to a single building, right?
