The roof of an office building is approximately 30,000 sq. ft. Skylights and mechanical equipment
account for 5,000 sq. ft. of the total roof area. What amount of roof needs to have a vegetated roof
to qualify for exemplary performance for Sustainable Sites Credit, Heat Island Effect-Roof?
A: 12,500 sq. ft.
B: 15,000 sq. ft.
C: 30,000 sq. ft.
D: 25,000 sq. ft.

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Notes:


The purpose of the question is to understand the exemplary performance requirement, which is a
100% green roof. The LEED Reference Guide says \'mechanical equipment, sky lights, etc. are
excluded from the calculation. By subtracting 5,000 sq. ft. of equipment from the total area leaves
25,000 sq. ft. 100% of this area would then need to be the green roof.
