LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 54

The result of proper design and operation of buildings and neighborhoods is an increase in energy

Answer options

• A. supply
• B. demand
• C. efficiency
• D. consumption

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, efficiency, because well-designed buildings and neighborhoods optimize energy use, reducing waste and lowering costs. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to the amount of energy available and desired, respectively, rather than how effectively energy is used. Option D is also incorrect since increased consumption typically indicates waste rather than improved efficiency.
