USGBC LEED-AP-ID+C Dumps Questions Answers

Within the context of the Water Efficiency Credit for Indoor Water Use Reduction in LEED, a private lavatory faucet refers to a sink that serves a non-public, individual space. This typically includes faucets in bathrooms that are designated for use by a single person or a specific occupant and are not accessible to the general public or shared among multiple users. A sink in a private office bathroom fits this definition as it is intended for the exclusive use of the occupant of the private office. In contrast, sinks in shared office restrooms, employee restrooms in retail stores, or even in private hotel room bathrooms are accessible to a broader group of users and do not meet the criterion of being a "private lavatory faucet" for the purpose of this credit.References:

• LEED v4 for Interior Design and Construction Reference Guide, particularly the section on Water Efficiency Credit, Indoor Water Use Reduction, which details the fixture types and their classifications.

For the Water Efficiency Prerequisite, Indoor Water Use Reduction, cooling towers and evaporative condensers must have makeup water meters to measure the amount of water used, conductivity controllers to optimize water quality and minimize consumption, and overflow alarms to prevent excess water use.

References: The LEED v4 Indoor Water Use Reduction Calculator is a tool that includes assumptions for baseline water use and helps in documenting water use reduction strategies, which would involve the use of makeup water meters and conductivity controllers1. Additionally, the LEED v4 reference guide for water efficiency credits outlines the need for water use reduction and the strategies to achieve it, which align with the requirements of makeup water meters and conductivity controllers2.

The Fundamental Commissioning and Verification prerequisite requires commissioning of the building’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and renewable energy systems and assemblies. While the building envelope is not typically commissioned, it must be included in the owner’s project requirements (OPR) and basis of design (BOD), and its design must be reviewed.

References: The LEED v4.1 reference guide for Interior Design and Construction outlines the scope of commissioning process activities, which includes the requirement for exterior enclosures to be limited to inclusion in the OPR and BOD, as well as the review of the OPR, BOD, and project design12.
