[All LEED AP ND Questions]

A 10-acre ((our hectare) project has 5.000 ft (1 524 m) of sidewalks Trees and trellises are planned along several of those blocks to provide shading for the sidewalks In order to achieve Neighborhood Pattern and Design Credit Tree-Lined and Shaded Streetscapes. what is the minimum shaded sidewalk that would need to be provided?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To achieve the Neighborhood Pattern and Design Credit for Tree-Lined and Shaded Streetscapes, a minimum of 60% of the total sidewalk length must be shaded within ten years of landscape installation. For a project with 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) of sidewalks, 60% equates to 3,000 feet (915 meters) of shaded sidewalk. This requirement encourages the development of pedestrian-friendly environments that provide comfort and reduce the urban heat island effect, contributing to the sustainability and livability of the neighborhood.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be 3,000 ft. for the shading to be effective.

Wait, are we measuring the sidewalks in feet or meters? I'm so confused! This question is making my head spin like a trellis in a tornado.

I bet the answer is C) 3,000 ft. (915 m). That's a nice, round number that seems like it would do the trick. Plus, it's the middle option, so it's probably the correct one.

D) 4,000 ft. (1 220 m) has got to be the right answer. The project is 10 acres, so they'll need a lot of shaded sidewalk to cover that area.
