The use of open grid pavement can help a project achieve points in what LEED areas? (choose 2)
A: Stormwater Management
B: Development Density
C: Heat Island Effect
D: Water Use Reduction

参考答案: AC

本题解释:
Open grid pavement helps reduce the rate and quantity of stormwater runoff by reducing the quantity of impervious surfaces.

Development density addresses development in urban areas to reuse existing infrastructure, protect greenfields, and preserve natural habitat.

Open grid pavement is pavement that is less than 50% impervious and contains vegetation in the open cells. LEED accepts this type of pavement for the use of reducing heat islands. The reason behind this is because the vegetation in the open cells replaces heat absorbing surfaces just like any other plant.

Water use reduction addresses reducing potable water use inside and outside a building.
