A small law firm is reviewing potential tenant locations for a new office. One office building achieved the following green measures:

- Using no potable water for irrigation
- Installing an open grid paving system for the entire parking lot
- Treating all of the wastewater onsite to tertiary standards
- Having solar trees that provide 1% of the building’s annual electricity use
- Using drip irrigation for landscaping

How many points can be earned for selecting this office space?

A: 6
B: 3
C: 5
D: 7
E: 4

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Reference: Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Selection

Remember for SS Credit 1 a maximum of 5 points can be earned.

Using no potable water for irrigation would earn 4 points (Path 8 + Path 7).

Installing open grid paving for the entire parking lot would earn 1 point (Path 4).

Treating all wastewater on site to tertiary standards would earn 2 point (Path 9).

On-site renewable energy must be at least 2.5% of the building’s total energy use (not 1%) (Path 11).

Using drip irrigation is part of water efficient landscaping but the project already earned Path 8.
