Discuss US Green Building Council LEED-Green-Associate Exam Topic 9 Question 25

The LEED Pilot credit library plays an important role in the continuous evolution of LEED by

Adeveloping new credits for U.S. projects only

Bachieving the next threshold for exemplary performance

Climiting the number of times that a credit category appears in the rating system

Dproviding U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) with feedback on achievability of proposed credits

Suggested Answer: B

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are compounds that have a high vapor pressure and low water solubility, and are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids1.VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects2.Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors2.VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products, such as paints, solvents, cleaners, fuels, pesticides, building materials, office equipment, etc2.Breathing VOCs can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, can cause difficulty breathing and nausea, and can damage the central nervous system and other organs3.Some VOCs can cause cancer3. Therefore, VOCs negatively impact the quality of indoor air, which is option B.

I heard it also helps with exemplary performance thresholds, right?

Veronique 11 months ago

I think it’s great for getting feedback on credits, very necessary!

Ruby 11 months ago

Wait, does it really only focus on U.S. projects? That seems limiting.

Filiberto 11 months ago

Totally agree, it’s essential for innovation in green building.

I practiced a question about credit categories, but I don't think limiting them is what the pilot library does.

I feel like the feedback to the USGBC is a big part of the pilot credits, but I might be mixing it up with other LEED processes.

Adolph 1 year ago

I remember something about exemplary performance, but I can't recall if that's directly related to the pilot credits.

Bev 1 year ago

I think the pilot credit library is about testing new ideas, but I'm not sure if it only applies to U.S. projects.

Kirk 1 year ago

Okay, I think I've got this. The LEED Pilot credit library allows USGBC to get feedback on proposed credits, so they can make LEED better over time. That's gotta be the right answer.

Willis 1 year ago

The LEED Pilot credit library is there to help evolve LEED, so I'm guessing the answer has to do with how it contributes to that process. I'll try to match the options to that.

Oren 1 year ago

This seems like a straightforward question about the role of the LEED Pilot credit library. I'll read through the options carefully and choose the one that best describes its purpose.

Ronny 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the LEED Pilot credit library. I'll have to think this through and see if I can eliminate any of the options that don't sound right.

Simona 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to review the nested operator concept again to be confident in my answer.

Haha, imagine if the pilot credit library was just for developing credits for U.S. projects only. That would be like LEED going on a diet and only eating American food!
