A building owner selects a 10 acre site of a former strip mall for the site of a new mixed-use
development. The project design will restore 6 acres of site with adapted vegetation. The site is
located 75 ft. from a wetland defined by the U.S. CFR. The building footprint will be 2 acres and
the remaining 2 acres will be paved with low-albedo, impervious concrete. What credit will these
design decisions help earn?
A: Sustainable Sites Credit, Brownfield Redevelopment
B: Sustainable Sites Credit, Heat Island Effect-Non-Roof
C: Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Selection
D: Water Efficiency Credit, Water-Efficient Landscaping

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Notes:


The correct answer is Water Efficiency Credit, Water-Efficient Landscaping because adaptive
vegetation cuts down on landscaping water requirements


Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Selection cannot be earned because the site is within 100 ft. of a
wetland defined by the U.S. CFR.


Sustainable Sites Credit, Brownfield Redevelopment would not apply because the site was not
described as contaminated.


Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Development-Protect or Restore Habitat requires restoring 50% of a
previously developed site with native or adaptive vegetation. 6 of the 10 acres will be restored
(60%). This credit is not an answer choice given.
