Read the first 7 (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Certification) Location and Transportation flashcards as text

  1. Which LEED v4 Location and Transportation credit specifically targets carpool, vanpool, and telecommuting programs?

    Answer: None — these strategies are not covered under LT credits

    LEED v4 LT credits focus on infrastructure (transit, bikes, EVs, parking) rather than employer-run commute programs, which fall outside the LT category.

  2. A new office building is targeting the LEED Green Vehicles credit. What percentage of total parking spaces must be designated as preferred for green vehicles?

    Answer: 5%

    LEED requires that at least 5% of total parking capacity be designated as preferred parking for green vehicles to earn this credit.

  3. Under LEED Location and Transportation, 'infill development' refers to building on a site that is:

    Answer: Surrounded on at least 75% of its boundary by previously developed land

    Infill sites are defined as parcels whose boundary is at least 75% surrounded by previously developed land, encouraging urban densification over sprawl.

  4. Which transit service type is generally NOT counted toward the Access to Quality Transit credit's qualifying trip thresholds?

    Answer: Demand-responsive transit (e.g., on-demand shuttle)

    Demand-responsive transit (on-call or on-demand services) typically does not qualify because it lacks the fixed-route reliability the credit requires.

  5. A LEED project is built on a former gas station with documented soil contamination. Which LT credit is the project best positioned to pursue?

    Answer: High Priority Site

    High Priority Site includes remediated contaminated sites (brownfields), and developing them earns additional points for revitalization.

  6. Long-term bicycle storage spaces in a LEED project must be enclosed or otherwise secured to protect against:

    Answer: Theft and weather

    Long-term storage must protect bicycles from both theft and weather, typically through locked enclosures, cages, or equivalent secured areas.

  7. Under LEED, which metric is used to evaluate the transit quality near a project site for the Access to Quality Transit credit?

    Answer: Weekday and weekend trip counts within a walking distance

    The credit evaluates the number of qualifying transit rides available per weekday and per weekend day within a defined pedestrian shed around the site.
