This document contains flashcards to help study for the LEED v4 Green Associate Exam. It defines key green building terms and concepts like the Montreal Protocol, heat island effect, LEED certification levels, emissivity, albedo, ASHRAE thermal comfort standards, blackwater, recyclables requirements, natural refrigerants, enhanced refrigerant formula, GBCI responsibilities, LEED credit categories, and baseline for green building verification.

National Association (SMACNA) has standards for maintaining indoor air quality during construction and demolition.
Albedo
Also known as reflectance. Ability of a
surface to reflect sunlight (0 to 1)
Which ASHRAE standard
regulates thermal comfort?
ASHRAE 55-2010, Thermal Comfort
Conditions for Human Occupancy
Blackwater
Wastewater from toilets and urinals
Required Recyclables for
MR Prerequisite
Paper, glass, cardboard, plastics and
metals. Also e-waste is now required in LEED v4. Safe collection, storage and disposal of at least two: batteries, mercurycontaining lamps, or e-waste
What are examples of
natural refrigerants?
Ammonia, Water, Carbon Dioxide,
Propane, Butane, Isopentane, etc.
What is the formula for
enhanced refrigerant management?
LCGWP + LCODP x 105 < 100 LC = life
cycle
What is GBCI responsible
for?
GBCI administers credentialing exams
and building certification
What are the LEED credit
categories?
1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9)
Integrative Process Location and Transportation Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere Materials and Resources Indoor Environmental Quality Innovation Regional Priority
LEED for Homes must be
verified by whom?
A Green Rater (Note: This is the only
rating system that must have projects verified.)
What is a baseline for
green building?
The baseline is defined by the amount of
energy or water the building would consume if it used conventional materials and design.
