white china mosaic are high SRI materials.
What is the acceptable minimum efficiency reporting value for air filtration media to minimize and control
pollutant entry into buildings?
Response:
MERV 13 or higher
Feedback:
Replacing all filtration media immediately prior to occupancy with a Minimum Efficiency Reporting
Value (MERV) of 13 (as determined by ASHRAE) helps in maintaining IAQ and prevents-cross
contamination of regularly occupied areas.

Feedback:
Air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed, and relative humidity are the measures of thermal
comfort.
Relative humidity
Feedback:
Air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed, and relative humidity are the measures of thermal
comfort.
Coefficient of performance
Fan speed
Which of the following refrigerants effectively addresses both direct and indirect adverse impacts on
environment?

Response:
Copy room
Feedback:
Achieving the minimum daylight factor is not required for copy rooms, storage areas, mechanical,
laundry, and other low occupancy support areas.
Office cabins
Meeting room
Storage area
What is heat island effect?
Response:
Temperature of a rural area exceeding the temperature of surrounding urban areas
Temperature of an urban area exceeding the temperature of surrounding rural areas
Feedback:
LEED defines heat island effect as when an urban area’s temperature is at least 10 degrees higher
than the surrounding suburban or rural areas.
Heat island in an urban area
Heat island in a rural area
What comfort temperatures are to be achieved in IGBC Green Factory Buildings?

Response:
28 +/- 2 deg C
Feedback:
According to ECBC (revised version May 2008) / ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standards, a factory’s whole
building simulation should use comfort temperatures of 28 +/- 2 deg C.
24 +/- 2 deg C
22 +/- 2 deg C
26 +/- 2 deg C
Which of the following materials are considered regional materials?
Response:
Wood that is certified by Forest Stewardship Council
Cradle-to-cradle certified products
Bamboo extracted, processed and manufactured within 500 km of the project site
Feedback:
Regional materials are those extracted, processed and manufactured within an 800 km radius of the
project site.
Wood that is extracted within 300 km miles of the project site
Which of the following issues are addressed by the provision of adequate visitors’ parking?
Response:
Heat island effect
Stormwater management
Street parking
Feedback:
Parking spaces are usually the cause of heat island effect and storm water runoff. Adequate parking
is a functional requirement. Option D is a code and not an issue.
NBC
Which issues are typically components of energy efficiency guidelines? (Choose 2)
Response:

Feedback:
Solar reflectance index, or SRI, is the measure of a material’s ability to reject solar heat. Albedo, or
solar reflectance, is the ratio of reflected solar energy to incoming solar energy. A material with high
visible reflectance has a low solar reflectance. Infrared emissivity is the ability to emit energy by
radiation.
Visible reflectance
Albedo
Which of the following is the objective of exterior light pollution reduction?
Response:
