1) 1st step in planning a sustainable project is a site strategy that:
2) locate sites where a bldg can make use of existing:
3) don't develop sites designated as:
1) what is potable water
2) what is rainwater
3) what is graywater
4) what is blackwater
1) how is water type separated?
2) some jurisdictions allow rainwater & graywater, after filtration, to be used for:
3) what should be done 1st in managing water on a site & during/ after const.?
UNPROTECTED WATERSHEDS CAUSE:
1) increased load on storm sewers
2) increased potential for flooding
3) pollution of waterways w/ sediment, salts, petroleum, fertilizers, heavy mtls, pathogenic bacteria
1) all development sites need a "stormwater mgmt plan" which is:
2) what can ctrl erosion & sediment on a const. site?
3) a few common methods to utilize natural filtration of soils/ plants are:
1) if local reg's allow, what can rainwater collection be used for & it's benefits?
2) a rainwater collection system includes:
3) if a roof is the catchment area, what slope is best?
1) if a roof is the catchment area, what material is best?
2) 1in. of rain yields how much rainwater per SF of catchment area?
3) calc amt of rainwater available by multiplying catchment area by:
1) if graywater is used to preheat potable water, what's the advg?
2) ^heat recovery systems are best for bldgs like:
3) b/c blackwater recycling req's more treatment, it's gen. not:
1) best way to reduce water use is w/
2) Energy Policy Act of 2005 via EPA governs:
3) a Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is important for LEED & is a method of:
4 PHASES OF LCA
1) define goals & scope of the study - so alt's can be compared & framework for data collection be developed
2) perform inventory analysis - quantifying all in/outputs of studied mat. like energy req'd for raw mat.'s, transportation, pollution, waste disposal, recyclability
1) what are the 4 main stages in a product's life cycle?
1) life cycle inventory model diagram
^inputs for energy typ Bth or megajoules, raw mat. in lbs or kilos, water in gal or liters / outputs typ by weight in lbs or kilos
1) in a "whole-bldg life-cycle assessment" the bldg is modeled as base case (typ const. practices) & design case (bldg's actual const. method) & to receive LEED credit:
1) acidification is the generation of waste mat.'s that can:
2) eutrophication is the formation of excessive nutrients in a body of water that:
