LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 7
Open grid pavement tends to reduce
Answer options
- A. native habitat
- B. heat island effects
- C. rainwater infiltration
- D. parking space requirements
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B because open grid pavement allows for increased water infiltration and evaporation, which helps lower temperatures in urban areas, thus mitigating heat island effects. Options A, C, and D do not accurately reflect the benefits of open grid pavement, as it often supports native habitats, enhances rainwater infiltration, and may not necessarily reduce parking space requirements.
