A tenant will lease out 15,000 sq. ft. of a 48,000 sq. ft. office building. The building is non-LEED and has achieved a water use reduction of 36% due to local code requirements. How many points could this contribute to the tenant project?
A: 1
B: 6
C: 8
D: 2

参考答案: A

本题解释:
The difference between SS Credit 1 Water Use Reduction and WE Credit 1 Water Use Reduction is that the SS credit is for the entire building, and the WE credit is for the tenant space.

In this example the question asks about the entire building. Don\'t confuse the percentages between the credits. SS Credit 1 needs a 30% reduction from the baseline building to earn the credit, and a 40% reduction for exemplary performance. Each is worth 1 point.

The building in the question achieved a 36% reduction which would only earn Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Selection, Water Use Reduction-30% Reduction.

For Water Efficiency Credit, Water Use Reduction:

A 30% reduction earns 6 points.
A 35% reduction earns 8 points.
A 40% reduction earns 11 points.

A 45% reduction earns exemplary performance.
