What is the basis of energy consumption in determining the percentage of green power or carbon offsets?
The contract term is at least five years.
The green power or carbon offsets are based on the quantity of energy consumed by the building.
The green power is Green-e Energy certified or the equivalent.
The carbon offsets are Green-e Climate certified, Verified Carbon Standard certified, Gold Standard certified, or the equivalent.

A new five-story building with a 30,000 ft2 (2 800 m2) footprint is being designed on a previously disturbed100,000 ft2 (9 290 m2) site. The remaining on-grade surface will be 35,000 ft2 (3 250 m2) of asphalt parking, and 35,000 ft2 (3 250 m2) of native vegetated open space. To achieve a point for exemplary performance under Option 1 of Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Development - Protect or Restore Habitat, the design team will have to incorporate a native and/or adapted vegetated roof with a minimum area of
To achieve the Sustainable Sites Credit, Light Pollution Reduction, Option 1. BUG Rating Method, projects must demonstrate:
Detailed
Under the BUG Rating Method, all luminaires must meet acceptable fixture ratings (Backlight, Uplight, and Glare ratings) for the project's Model Lighting Ordinance (MLO) lighting zone. This ensures compliance with LEED's Light Pollution Reduction credit by limiting light trespass, reducing glare, and preserving night sky quality.
Which of the following is an example of a diverse use as defined by Location and Transportation Credit, Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses?
Detailed
A public park qualifies as a diverse use under LEED because it is a publicly accessible facility that serves the community. LEED defines diverse uses as those that provide amenities, services, or public resources within walking distance, promoting walkable neighborhoods and reducing reliance on vehicles.
Which of the following statements are true for Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC) plan prerequisite compliance?
For the Sustainable Sites (SS) Prerequisite: Construction Activity Pollution Prevention, a compliant Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC) plan can be developed or modified during the design phase of LEED certification (B). This flexibility allows the project team to adjust the plan as needed to ensure proper site protection measures before and during construction. An ESC plan is essential to prevent soil erosion, waterway sedimentation, and airborne dust, aligning with LEED's environmental protection standards.
