What attribute should recycled materials have in order to take advantage of synergies with regional materials?
A: Remanufactured regionally
B: Low VOCs
C: More durability
D: Lower life-cycle costs

参考答案: A

本题解释:
Only the choice of being remanufactured regionally would help with earning credit for regional/locally sourced materials.

You may hear regional materials also referred to as local materials. Exam objective V.B from the GBCI handbook is \'Locally (regionally) Harvested and Manufactured Materials\'. The USGBC GA study guide also has \'Regional/Locally Sourced Materials\' in the book\'s definitions. The terms mean the same thing.

For LEED, regional materials are materials that originate within 500 miles of the project site. To be considered regional the materials must be extracted, processed, and manufactured within 500 miles of the project site. For example if lumber is extracted 1,000 miles away and turned into flooring 250 miles from the project site the flooring would not be considered a regional material.
