. The “Dynamic Daylight performance metrics” paper argues for “use of dynamic daylight performance measures for sustainable building design.” Which of the following statements is true of its arguments?
The “Dynamic Daylight performance metrics” paper argues for “use of dynamic daylight performance measures for sustainable building design.” Which of the following statements is true of its arguments?
A It recommends analysis of dynamic daylight performance, i.e., it suggests that daylighting modeling and analysis consider site-specific interactions among a building design, its intended occupants and the local climate over a period of year.
B. Daylight simulation and analysis have entered professional building design practice enabled by wide access to computing power, readily available staff with suitable computer skills and commercial availability of 3D building modeling and daylight simulation tools.
C. Although the accepted LEED method recommends a daylight factor approach of assigning points for a threshold daylight factor, the paper advocates a “more scientific” approach that compares predicted performance of a few dynamic daylighting metrics with respect to intended performance of comparable well-calibrated models.
D. It suggests that many different performance metrics usefully enable good daylight analysis, including dynamic performance analysis, daylight factor as traditionally defined by architects, and dynamic load management improvement through fenestration an lighting control.

. The LEED checklist does not explicitly mention multidisciplinary design and analysis, so presumably its use is optional and not critical. Which of the following statements seems true about the LEED checklist?
The LEED checklist does not explicitly mention multidisciplinary design and analysis, so presumably its use is optional and not critical. Which of the following statements seems true about the LEED checklist?
A. It is prescriptive: it tells design teams what to do on issues that relate to sustainability.
B. It is performance-based: it sets specific predictable and measurable objectives for building performance that relate to sustainability
C. It reflects the relative importance for different performance metrics of the Green Building Council.
D. It reflects the relative importance for different performance metrics of the design team and client.

. Multidisciplinary design and analysis might contribute to more sustainable building design in which of the following ways:
Multidisciplinary design and analysis might contribute to more sustainable building design in which of the following ways:
A. Predict impact on “pollution” for automobile use based on 3D building and transportation simulations that, for different building designs and site choices, predict distances driven and pollution generated by different mixes of traditional autos and trucks, low-emitting vehicles and public transit that employees and service providers might choose in using the facility.
B. At the design phase, 3D building and indoor air quality simulation could certify adequacy of building designs and mechanical ventilation to maintain indoor air quality.
C. Encourage and recognize increasing levels of on-site renewable energy self-supply in order to reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with fossil fuel energy use.
D. Predict actual energy use of alternative building designs with high reliability (+- 5%).
