A project team has decided to modify a low SRI roof design to include a vegetated roof to help with stormwater management. What other credit would this decision help with?

A: Recycled Materials
B: Heat Island Effect
C: Green Power
D: ater Use Reduction

参考答案: B

本题解释:
A:Vegetation does not count as a recycled material.
B:A green roof can help with reducing the heat island effect. Vegetation is a good insulator against the heat from the sun and would keep a building cooler compared to low SRI material.
C:Green power, or offsite renewable energy, is unrelated to vegetated roofs.
D: A vegetated roof may actually increase the watering needs of a building due to the watering needs of the plants.
