LEED AP O&M Practice Test 2025
Questions and Answers 100% Pass
A project team is assessing existing luminaires for Light Pollution Reduction and found
some fixtures emit light at a vertical angle more than 90 degrees from straight down.
What statement is true regarding the project's ability to earn the credit? - ✔✔The team
must retrofit or replace the non-compliant fixtures to earn the credit
An office building has six individual workstations, two private offices, and a conference
room. What lighting control configuration would meet the requirements of EQ Credit
Interior Lighting? - ✔✔Individual lighting controls for four workstations and multizone
control for the conference room.
There are 8 individual occupant spaces, so any combination that equals 50% of the
individual spaces would count as meeting the requirements.
When occupancy data is entered into the indoor water use calculator, it is split by
default to a 50/50 gender ratio. Under which circumstance should this be ratio
changed? - ✔✔A project can alter the default ratio if it is justified. Same-sex schools are
one example.
What frequency of recording data is required during the performance period for WE
Credit Water Metering? - ✔✔All meters, including whole-building meter, must be
recorded at least weekly and used in a regular analysis of time trends

,Typical end uses for a commercial office building that may require advanced metering
for EA Credit Advanced Energy Metering include all of the following except: -
✔✔Projects must sub-meter all energy end uses that are at least 20% of the total
building energy use excluding plug loads.
A project team has an existing building commissioning plan resulting from the analysis
of the building. What can this document serve as the foundation of? - ✔✔The Ongoing
Commissioning credit can use existing building commissioning plan to create the
ongoing commissioning plan.
A project team for an office building took daylight measurements in all regularly
occupied spaces in the month of June. Which action must occur for the project to
achieve Daylight Measurement for EQ Credit Daylight and Quality Views? - ✔✔Two
measurements must be taken for the option.
How frequently should occupant surveys be performed to achieve IEQ Credit Occupant
Comfort Survey? - ✔✔Perform at least one survey and implement corrective actions. At
a minimum, perform one new survey at least once every 2 years.
As an alternative refrigerant to HCFC a project team is considering HFC-410A. What is
the trade-off to when using HFC-410A in the HVAC&R system? - ✔✔It has a lower
GWP but require more energy to achieve the same level of cooling.
Who should be included in the project team for SS Credit Site Improvement Plan? -
✔✔Anyone having to do with the land should be involved with this credit as part of the
integrated team:
Landscape architect

,Hydrologist
Civil engineer
Restoration ecologist
Landscape designers
Maintenance staff
Project teams should coordinate the solid waste management policy and the
environmentally preferred purchasing policy in what areas? - ✔✔Areas such as source
reduction, contract agreements, communications with building occupants overlap
between the two policies.
A project team is inventorying the regularly occupied spaces of an office building
occupied by one tenant. Under what circumstances could any of the regular occupied
spaces be excluded from the requirements of daylighting? - ✔✔When tasks would be
hindered by the use of daylight
This is the only exception allowed.
A project team is reviewing a project's goals. What type of analysis would be
appropriate for existing building commissioning? - ✔✔The focus is on proper system
operations
The Existing Building Commissioning option focuses more on controls, proper system
operations and efficiency improvements.
The other choices would benefit from an ASHRAE Level 2 Energy Survey and Analysis.

, The classification of a sink in a mixed-use project is unclear. Which action should the
LEED AP take when performing the indoor water-use calculations? - ✔✔Classify the
sink as public
If the classification for public or private use is unclear, default to public use flow rates
when performing the calculations
A school project is located in an area the does not provide composting services. What
can the project team do during the performance period to earn MR Credit Solid Waste
Management - Ongoing? - ✔✔Implement an awareness program that encourages
occupants to reduce food waste
An education program has to be in place for the credit during the performance period
The WaterSense Water Budget tool uses which variables to determine how much water
a project needs? - ✔✔Each location's rainfall .
Evapotranspiration levels .
The tool uses the location's ZIP code to estimate the evapotranspiration rate for the peak
watering month. The tool uses historical data to determine rainfall. This information,
along with the landscape area entered, is used to determine a landscape water
allowance.
A project building has a total 100 regular building occupants and visitors. What
minimum response rate is needed for a valid transportation survey? - ✔✔5 total regular
building occupants and visitors
The minimum response rate needed overall accounting for both regular occupants and
transient occupants is 5% and extrapolations of results can begin at 30%.
