Discuss US Green Building Council LEED-AP-O+M Exam Topic 6 Question 23

A property manager is evaluating various bids from pest management services. Which of the following service certifications would assist the existing building in achieving Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Integrated Pest Management?

AGreenPro, Ecowise, Greenshield

BQuality Pro, Ecowise, Greenshield

CSan Francisco Tier 3, CRI, Green Seal

DGreen Seal, San Francisco Tier 3, QualityPro

Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A because GreenPro, Ecowise, and Greenshield are service certifications that indicate the pest management services follow the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), as stated in the web search results123. IPM is a comprehensive approach to pest management that minimizes the use of pesticides and maximizes the use of prevention, monitoring, and non-chemical methods4. The other options are incorrect because they either do not relate to pest management or do not follow the IPM principles.

I vaguely recall that San Francisco Tier 3 has some specific requirements, but I can't remember if it's directly related to Indoor Environmental Quality.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like Quality Pro was mentioned in a similar practice question about pest management certifications.

Golda 9 months ago

I think I remember that Integrated Pest Management focuses on environmentally friendly practices, so maybe GreenPro or Green Seal could be relevant?

Ugh, this is a tough one. There are a lot of specific certifications mentioned that I'm not super familiar with. I'm going to have to really read through the answer choices carefully and try to figure out which ones are most closely tied to integrated pest management and indoor environmental quality. Hmm, I'm leaning towards D but I'm not 100% sure.

Francesco 9 months ago

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Based on the question, I think the property manager is looking for certifications that demonstrate the pest management service uses holistic, sustainable methods. So I'd go with answer D - Green Seal and San Francisco Tier 3 seem to fit that criteria best.

German 9 months ago

Okay, let me think this through. I'm guessing the certifications that would help achieve that credit are ones that focus on environmentally-friendly, integrated pest management approaches. So I'm leaning towards answer D, with Green Seal and San Francisco Tier 3 being the most relevant.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the key is to focus on the "Integrated Pest Management" part of the question. That's probably the main thing the property manager is looking for in terms of certifications.
