A tenant wants to minimize energy use on a project. Which strategy would most likely achieve this goal?
A: Daylighting all spaces
B: Signing a two year contract to purchase green power
C: Increasing ventilation and offsetting the energy use using heat recovery strategies
D: Installing task lighting with occupancy sensors

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Lighting is one of the greatest energy needs of an interior space. Task lighting is a strategy to help achieve Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Controllability of Systems-Lighting. However task lighting can be abused if lights are not turned off, thus increasing energy consumption. Energy costs can be lowered by integrating task lighting with occupancy sensors.

The use of green power does not minimize energy use. Green power reduces pollution.

Daylighting can actually increase energy use. Glazing parameters directly affect heat gain and loss in the building and result in increased energy use.

Increasing ventilation can increase energy use. This can be offset but this overall strategy doesn\'t reduce energy use.
