LEED AP with Operations and Maintenance (O+M ) Practice Exam

Under which condition must visitors be surveyed for LT Credit Alternative Transportation?

1. If the daily average is greater than the number of regular occupants

2. If the typical peak is less than five times the regular occupants

3. If the daily average is less than the number of regular occupants

4. If either peak or daily average is greater than regular building occupants

The correct answer is: If either peak or daily average is greater than regular building occupants

The correct response centers on the need for visitors to be surveyed for LT Credit Alternative Transportation when either the daily average or peak visitor count exceeds the number of regular occupants. This condition ensures that the building is accounting for the transportation patterns of all individuals using the facility, not just the regular occupants. Understanding transportation trends can help identify additional needs for alternative transportation options, such as bike storage, transit access, or carpooling, which can enhance sustainability efforts and reduce the overall environmental impact associated with transportation. Monitoring these metrics plays a crucial role in assessing the effectiveness of the building's transportation management strategies. By capturing information from a larger visitor population, the building management gains insights that can drive improvements in ongoing operations and maintenance practices related to transportation. This aligns with LEED's broader goals of promoting environmentally responsible transportation solutions and sustaining quality site management in the context of a dynamic usage pattern.
