Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The LEED requirement for Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Indoor Air Quality Assessment, specifies that after construction, a non-phased flush-out must supply a total air volume of 14,000 cubic feet of outdoor air per square foot of floor area1. For a new office space of 36,000 ft, the calculation would be:

36,000ft214,000ft3/ft2=504,000,000ft3

This aligns with option C, which is the correct answer.

Hmm, let me think about this. I'd say option B looks about right, it's the biggest number so it must be the correct answer. After all, more is better when it comes to indoor air quality, right?
