The cost of the new building materials for a renovation project will be $1,000,000. What minimum amount of materials could the design team purchase for the project to earn exemplary performance for Materials and Resources Credit, Rapidly Renewable Materials?
A: $50,000 of wool carpeting
B: $50,000 of bamboo flooring and $50,000 of salvaged pine flooring
C: $50,000 of wheatboard furniture
D: $50,000 of wool carpeting and $50,000 of wheatboard furniture

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Notes:

To earn exemplary performance for Materials and Resources Credit, Rapidly Renewable Materials, rapidly renewable materials must make up 10% of the total value of all building materials used, based on cost. The renovation materials will cost $1,000,000, so $100,000 of the project must consist of rapidly renewable materials.

$50,000 of wool carpeting + $50,000 of wheatboard furniture meet this requirement.

Salvaged pine flooring is not a rapidly renewable material.
