LEED-AP-ID+C Exam Dumps - LEED AP Interior Design + Construction (LEED AP ID+C) V4

The visible light transmittance of the existing exterior glazing affects the amount of natural light that penetrates the space, which is directly related to the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit for Daylight. This credit assesses the daylighting conditions in occupied spaces to promote occupants’ comfort and well-being. Since no modifications to the building envelope are being made, the existing glazing’s light transmittance will influence the daylight credit’s performance1.

The Fundamental Commissioning and Verification prerequisite requires commissioning of the building’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and renewable energy systems and assemblies. While the building envelope is not typically commissioned, it must be included in the owner’s project requirements (OPR) and basis of design (BOD), and its design must be reviewed.

References: The LEED v4.1 reference guide for Interior Design and Construction outlines the scope of commissioning process activities, which includes the requirement for exterior enclosures to be limited to inclusion in the OPR and BOD, as well as the review of the OPR, BOD, and project design12.

Exemplary performance in LEED is typically achieved by significantly exceeding the requirements for a credit. In the case of water savings, exemplary performance can be achieved by demonstrating a level of water savings that is substantially higher than the standard requirement. A 55% potable water savings would represent a significant reduction in water use and could qualify for an exemplary performance credit under the LEED v4 ID+C rating system.

The standard reference used to find minimum ventilation rates for LEED ID+C projects is ASHRAE 62.1-2010. This standard provides the necessary guidelines for ensuring acceptable indoor air quality and specifies the minimum ventilation rates required to achieve this.

References: The LEED v4 reference guide for Interior Design and Construction references ASHRAE 62.1-2010 as the standard for Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance12.

The integrative process is a strategy that can lead to both immediate and long-term cost savings. By engaging in early analysis of the interrelationships among systems, the project team can identify unique opportunities and challenges. This early engagement helps to optimize the design, which can reduce the time and cost associated with making design changes later in the project and minimize the need for change orders during construction1.

 The Construction and Demolition Waste Management Calculation requires information about the waste stream (the different types of materials being disposed of), the total amount of waste generated, the amount of waste diverted from landfill through recycling or reuse, and the amount of waste that is actually sent to the landfill.

References: This information aligns with the LEED AP Interior Design + Construction (LEED AP ID+C) V4 guidelines, which emphasize the importance of waste management planning in sustainable building practices1.

For the Water Efficiency Credit, Indoor Water Use Reduction calculations, all fixtures within the LEED project boundary must be included, both new and existing. The baseline for the existing fixtures should be the same as the baseline flush/flow rates used for the new fixtures. This approach ensures a consistent and fair comparison between the current and proposed water use.

For a project to achieve the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit for Low Emitting Materials, it must ensure that all materials meet the current standards. If the certifications are outdated, the LEED AP should obtain current certifications for the wall and ceiling paints to demonstrate compliance with the latest requirements. This is essential to verify that the materials used are indeed low-emitting according to the most recent standards and to maintain the integrity of the certification process123.
