Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

To qualify for any level of LEED certification, a project must meet all the prerequisites and achieve a minimum number of points based on the rating system and the certification level1.The prerequisites are mandatory requirements that must be met before a project can earn any points2.The points are awarded for achieving optional credits that demonstrate environmental performance and innovation2.The LEED rating system consists of five broad categories: Building Design and Construction (BD+C), Interior Design and Construction (ID+C), Building Operations and Maintenance (O+M), Neighborhood Development (ND), and Homes3.Each category has different adaptations for specific project types and scopes, such as Schools, Retail, Hospitality, Data Centers, Warehouses and Distribution Centers, Healthcare, etc3.Each adaptation has a different number of prerequisites and credits, and a different point scale for each certification level4.The certification levels are: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum1.The minimum points required for each level vary depending on the rating system and the adaptation, but generally range from 40 to 80 points1.

In this question, the project has achieved 53 points and six of eight prerequisites. This means that the project has failed to meet two prerequisites, which are mandatory requirements. Therefore, the project does not qualify for any level of LEED certification, regardless of the rating system or the adaptation. The answer is A. None.

Hold up, does the project qualify for any level if it's missing two prerequisites? Seems like a trick question to me. I'm going with A) None.

I think you're right, missing two prerequisites might disqualify the project. I'll go with A) None as well.

But with 53 points and six prerequisites met, it should be enough for Gold.

Nah, it's gotta be Gold. The project is basically acing it! They should give out a diamond-encrusted certificate for this one.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Maybe it's Certified? The question doesn't give us the full requirements for each level. I'll have to think this one through.

C'mon, it's clearly Silver. The project has more than half the prerequisites and a decent number of points. Easy peasy!

No, I don't think so. Gold would require more points and prerequisites than what the project has achieved.
