LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 80

Which of the following interior items contributes to a comfortable acoustic environment?

Answer options

• A. Soft surfaces
• B. Wood cabinets
• C. Hollow metal doors
• D. Glass cubicle partitions

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Soft surfaces are effective at absorbing sound, which reduces noise levels and enhances acoustic comfort. In contrast, wood cabinets, hollow metal doors, and glass cubicle partitions tend to reflect sound rather than absorb it, which can lead to a more echoic and less comfortable acoustic environment.
