USGBC LEED-Green-Associate Dumps Questions Answers

The Solar Reflective Index (SRI) is a measure of how well a material reflects solar radiation and releases absorbed heat. It is used to evaluate the performance of cool roofs, which can reduce the heat island effect by lowering the surface temperature of buildings and urban areas.

Systems thinking is a principle that is part of the integrated process, which is a collaborative and holistic approach to green building design, construction, and operation. Systems thinking involves understanding the interrelationships and interactions among the various components of a system, such as the building, its occupants, its site, its climate, and its energy sources. Systems thinking helps to identify synergies, optimize performance, avoid unintended consequences, and create multiple benefits for the project13. References: LEED v4 Green Associate Candidate Handbook1, LEED v4 BD+C Reference Guide3

The integrative process involves collaboration among all project team members, from initial planning through design and construction, to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of systems. This process allows for better coordination among disciplines, leading to more efficient use of resources, improved environmental performance, reduced project costs, and enhanced occupant satisfaction. References: LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook, U.S. Green Building Council resources
