What refers to the relationship between the total building floor area and the allowable land area the building can cover?
A: Community connectivity
B: Development footprint
C: Site area
D: Floor-area ratio

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Community connectivity is the quantity of connection between a site and the surrounding community. It is measured by pedestrian access to housing basic services such as restaurants, post offices, hospitals, libraries, etc.

Development footprint is the area of the project site that has been disturbed for development. This area includes the building footprint, hardscapes, and parking lots.

Site area includes the total area within the project boundary defined as both constructed and non-constructed areas.


The floor-area ratio is the relationship between the total building floor area and the allowable land area the building can cover. (-USGBC)

In green building having a smaller building footprint (building up and having a taller building) is better than having a shorter, wider building (building out) because the smaller building footprint will have less of an impact on the surrounding environment. This can preserve green spaces and natural ecosystems.
