Question 5

What is the percentage rule when making a decision on the rating system that is most appropriate to use for a project?


Correct : B

The percentage rule is a method to determine the most appropriate LEED rating system for a project when several rating systems may be applicable1.To use this rule, first assign a rating system to each square foot or square meter of the building, and then choose the most appropriate rating system based on the resulting percentages1.The entire gross floor area of a LEED project must be certified under a single rating system and is subject to all prerequisites and attempted credits in that rating system1.The percentage rule states that if one rating system covers more than 60% of the gross floor area, that rating system should be used1.If no rating system covers more than 60% of the gross floor area, but one covers more than 40%, then that rating system should be used1.If no rating system covers more than 40% of the gross floor area, then the project team can choose any applicable rating system1. Therefore, the answer is B. 40/60 rule.
