The scenario will be displayed with each question for reference. Please use the scenario information when answering.
Central Office Park is a 153,000 ft2 (14 214 m2) existing commercial office building situated in a suburban business district.
During a recent operational audit, the management team confirmed that the building has 300 regular occupants. The building sees a daily average of 40 visitors and is located in an area with a Walk Score of 66.
To better understand occupant behavior, the team conducted a transportation survey during the current reporting period. The results revealed that 26% of the regular occupants commute using active and shared modes of transportation.
The property includes a surface parking lot with 100 total parking spaces. Historically, the owner has bundled parking passes with tenant leases at no additional cost. To pursue LTc2: Transportation Demand Management, they are planning to unbundle parking from all leases. Research confirms the local market rate for similar parking is $150 per month. To mitigate possible tenant dissatisfaction during the transition, the owner has proposed a policy of charging a discounted flat fee of $100 per month for each parking space.
Just outside the property line, a contiguous bicycle network is located 1,000 ft. (305 m) from the building ' s main entrance.
As part of a capital improvement plan to address decarbonization, the owner has allocated budget to install electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). They have selected Level 2, ENERGY STAR-certified chargers.
The owner has specified that the units be installed as standalone devices without a network connection to the utility provider or internet.
The building owner is exploring options to improve the project ' s achievement under LTc1: Sustainable Transportation Performance. Which of the following initiatives promotes a transportation mode that contributes to the project's Sustainable Transportation Rate?

• A. Providing preferred parking and charging stations for employees with electric vehicles
• B. Subsidizing ride-share services for employees commuting alone
• C. Instituting a flexible work policy that encourages regular occupants to telecommute

According to the conditions specified for the EAc5: Decarbonization and Efficiency Plans, Option 1. Strategic Decarbonization Plan, which of the following elements should a project team include in their five-year capital plan to ensure compliance?

• A. Energy used to charge electric vehicles
• B. Carbon saved from on-site renewable installations
• C. Measures to reduce emissions from nonrenewable fuels burned by district heating systems

A project team is assessing a mixed-use development to determine its eligibility for an ENERGY STAR score. The development includes the following:
* an office building with 60% occupancy
* a hotel with 65% of rooms occupied daily
* a multi-family building with 85% of residential units leased
The team is also using district energy sources for heating and cooling. They are required to input their energy data using meters that reflect the associated energy consumption.
When inputting energy data for the mixed-use development in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, what should the project team ensure to accurately represent the district energy usage?

• A. Identify and separate the energy associated with the source on their own meters
• B. Use estimated data if actual district energy meters are unavailable
• C. Only include the energy data of buildings that meet the occupancy requirements

A new office building is being designed to meet anticipated future carbon emissions standards and incorporate energy-efficient technologies. The project team plans to use simulation software to model energy use and determine projected carbon emissions based on current and proposed building operations, which include lighting, HVAC, and plug loads.
Which of the following actions should the project team take to create an accurate carbon projection from energy use?

• A. Use historical energy data from a similar building type as a benchmark
• B. Exclude tenant-specific energy use requirements from the simulation
• C. Conduct annual load analysis to understand energy consumption patterns

Which of the following alternative transportation strategies help reduce pollution and land development effects from automobile use?

• A. Use of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) vehicles
• B. Use of hybrid vehicles
• C. Use of combustion engine motorcycles
