LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 89

Which component directly reduces a building's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions?

Answer options

• A. High-efficiency HVAC
• B. Double-glazed windows
• C. Building Commissioning (Cx)
• D. Native plant landscaping

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, High-efficiency HVAC, is designed to optimize energy use and minimize emissions, directly impacting GHG levels. While double-glazed windows, Building Commissioning, and native plant landscaping may contribute to overall energy efficiency and environmental benefits, they do not directly reduce GHG emissions as effectively as a high-efficiency HVAC system does.
