What statement is true regarding the use of Halons?

A: A building uses Halons in fire suppression systems could not earn LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance
B: A building uses Halons in fire suppression systems can still earn LEED certification
C: A building uses Halons in fire suppression systems cannot earn any LEED certification
D: A building uses Halon in fire suppression system must implement a 5-year phase out plan as part of the application process

参考答案: B

本题解释:
Notes:

Reference: LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations Rating System
A--The building could earn any LEED certification.

LEED prerequisites do not require zero use of Halons from a building in order to earn certification. Fundamental Refrigerant Management requires zero use of CFCs.

Enhanced Refrigerant Management (a LEED credit) can be earned for zero use of Halons, but remember that this credit does not have to be pursued if the project team chooses not to.

Phase out plans are used when an existing building uses CFC-based refrigerants.
