LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 21

The project team is conducting a feasibility study of a building project. The developer has pre-qualified four potential sites that are all financially viable. Within the context of LEED, which site is the most applicable?

Answer options

• A. A brownfield site with no access to metro
• B. A brownfield site in a national park with car access only
• C. A greenfield site with access to public transport and proximity to grocery stores
• D. A brownfield site with access to five lines of public transportation and basic services

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it offers significant public transportation access and essential services, aligning with LEED's emphasis on sustainable site selection. Options A and B lack adequate public transport options, and while C is a greenfield site with some amenities, it does not provide the same level of transport accessibility as option D.
