USGBC LEED Accredited Professional Homes Sample Questions:

01. A cold-climate single-family project has three planting areas: a shaded bed of ferns on the north side, a sunny street-frontage border of drought-tolerant perennials, and a small lawn where the children play. The installer has proposed one irrigation zone covering all three.
What is the water-efficiency objection to that arrangement?
a) Running the beds, the border and the lawn on one cycle lengthens the total run time.
b) A single valve cannot carry water to three separate parts of a lot, so the planting farthest from the point of connection would be left dry through the season.
c) The lawn and the beds call for different pressures at the outlet, and one valve cannot hold two pressures at the same time.
d) A single schedule has to satisfy the thirstiest planting, so everything else on the zone is watered past its need.
 
02. A developer is completing a multifamily building in a mixed climate and will hand over each unit fully equipped. Efficient fixtures and fittings are already specified throughout and the plumbing package is closed, while the appliances that go into the units have still to be chosen.
Which further decision reduces the water the occupied units will draw?
a) Leaving the appliance choice to each resident and roughing in the connections.
b) Handing residents a guide to running full loads and choosing the shorter wash cycles.
c) Specifying clothes washers and dishwashers rated for low water use per cycle, so every unit draws less.
d) Providing each unit with a compact dishwasher rather than a full-size one, so that every load put through it is smaller.
 
03. A multifamily building in a hot-dry climate has a planted courtyard that needs watering right through a summer in which almost no rain falls, and the team wants that demand met without drawing on the treated supply. The roof is small against the area of planting, the site has no room for a tank big enough to carry winter rain across the summer, and the units are occupied all year.
Which source can meet the courtyard's summer demand?
a) Graywater from the units' showers and clothes washers, routed out to the courtyard planting.
b) A cistern collecting the roof runoff, filled through the winter rains and drawn down across the months when the courtyard needs it.
c) A well sunk into the shallow aquifer beneath the site, dedicated to the courtyard and kept off the building's supply.
d) Condensate from the cooling coils serving the units, piped down to the courtyard beds through the summer.
 
04. A multifamily gut rehabilitation is weighing two measures. One is a demand-controlled recirculation arrangement that brings hot water to the taps without the occupant running the tap to drain while waiting. The other is a set of showerheads and faucets carrying lower rated flows.
How are those two measures assessed?
a) Both are assessed under Energy and Atmosphere for the heating that the water at issue requires in either case.
b) The recirculation arrangement is assessed under Water Efficiency for the water it keeps out of the drain, while the fittings are assessed under Energy and Atmosphere.
c) Both are assessed under Water Efficiency for the water each of them keeps from leaving the taps.
d) The recirculation arrangement is assessed under Energy and Atmosphere for the heating energy an efficient distribution design conserves, while the fittings' rated flow is what Water Efficiency counts.
 
05. A row of townhouses in a mixed climate is replacing the turf across its street frontage with a field of decorative gravel laid over woven fabric on compacted subgrade. The change ends the mowing and takes the frontage off the irrigation system altogether, and the team is pleased with the outdoor water result. It assumes the change reads the same way for the site.
What does the change do to the site's rainwater performance?
a) It improves it, because a planting that is never irrigated adds nothing to what the site has to shed
b) It leaves it unchanged, since the frontage is still open ground rather than a paved surface
c) It worsens it, because the fabric over compacted subgrade sheds rain much as a paved surface does
d) It improves it, because gravel is a loose material that rain passes through on its way into the soil
 
06. A rural single-family home draws hard water from a private well and the owner will install a softener. The team wants to hold down the water the treatment equipment itself sends to drain.
Which choice does that?
a) A softener that regenerates on measured throughput, so cycles run only when the resin is spent.
b) A cartridge filter fitted upstream of the softener and replaced whenever the manufacturer's schedule calls for it.
c) A softener sized well above the household's peak demand, so that a regeneration cycle comes round far less often.
d) A larger brine tank that needs refilling less often.
 
07. A single-family home in a hot-dry climate has an interval-reading water meter. The household has been away for several days with the irrigation controller switched off, and the record shows the meter advancing at a small steady rate the whole time.
What does that record establish?
a) A standby draw from appliances that cycle whether or not anyone is at home.
b) A break in the buried service line between the water main and the meter.
c) A registering error at the low end of the meter's range, overstating what passed it.
d) A continuous loss on the home's own side of the meter.
 
08. A suburban single-family lot in a mixed climate has just had its beds and its small lawn planted. The irrigation contractor has left the controller running short cycles every other day so that the new plants do not dry out, and the owner means the landscape to draw as little as it can once it is growing on its own.
What should happen to that schedule as the planting establishes?
a) Begin on the long, deep interval the established landscape will settle at, and shorten it season by season as the plants grow larger and draw more from the ground around them.
b) Water often and lightly while the roots are still confined to the backfill, then lengthen the interval and soak more deeply as they spread, so that the established planting settles onto occasional deep cycles.
c) Hold the establishment cycles as they are, since the planting has visibly done well on them and a schedule that is working is not worth disturbing.
d) Stop the watering once the planting is in the ground, so that the roots are driven down to find moisture for themselves from the first season.
 
09. The owner of an occupied multifamily building is replacing the showerheads, faucet aerators and toilets across every dwelling unit. Residents have to be given notice before anyone enters, a member of the household has to be at home, and earlier work in this building showed that a second and a third round of appointments lose units to refusals and missed visits.
How should the programme be organised?
a) Work through the building one device at a time, fitting every showerhead first, then every aerator, then every toilet, so the crew stays on one task and the material is ordered in single lots.
b) Do the laundry room and the common washrooms first, leaving a boxed aerator at each unit door for the household to fit.
c) Fit the showerhead, the aerators and the toilet in one visit to each unit, so that a single appointment leaves that dwelling finished rather than part-done.
d) Take the units at turnover, fitting out each one as it empties rather than entering it while a household is living there, and reach the rest of the building as the leases come round.
 
10. Two summers after occupancy, a suburban home's irrigation throws water across a strip of the driveway on every cycle, and a soft wet patch has appeared in the lawn over one of the lateral lines.
What does the maintenance visit have to accomplish?
a) Repair the broken lateral, re-aim the heads, and re-test the zone.
b) Extend the run time on that zone until the planting beyond the damaged lateral receives its full depth.
c) Move the zone's start time into the early morning, when the wind is lightest and least spray carries.
d) Fit the zone with emitters of higher output and re-balance the pressure across the remaining zones.
