LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 40

Which of the following strategies help improve daylighting in an office building?

Answer options

• A. Provide individual occupant task lighting
• B. Work with the project glazing contractor to specify low argon windows
• C. Locate private offices toward the building core and organize cubicles at the perimeter
• D. Locate private offices toward the building perimeter and organize cubicles toward the building core

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is effective because it maximizes access to natural light by placing offices where they can benefit from windows, while cubicles get more light at the perimeter. Options A and B do not directly improve daylighting in the overall office layout. Option D actually limits natural light access for private offices, which is contrary to the goal of enhancing daylighting.
