Exam LEED-AP-O-M Topic 3 Question 144 Discussion

Actual exam question for USGBC's LEED-AP-O-M exam
Question #: 144
Topic #: 3

An individual tenant in a multi-tenant building is unwilling or unable to provide their purchasing data. How does this affect the overall requirement for Materials and Resources Credit, Purchasing - Ongoing?

A. The building is not eligible for this credit B. The total purchases would be decreased by the tenant's pro rata square footage C. The tenant's purchasing is assumed to be 50% compliant toward the sustainability criteria D. If the tenant's space is less than 10% of the total building, their total purchases can be excluded

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

This answer is correct because it follows the guidance provided by the LEED v4.1 O+M Reference Guide for dealing with nonparticipating tenants in multi-tenant buildings. The guide states that if a tenant is unwilling or unable to provide their purchasing data, the project team must integrate the estimated data from the nonparticipating tenant into the whole-building purchasing data to determine compliance for the whole building.The guide also states that the tenant's purchasing is assumed to be 50% compliant toward the sustainability criteria, unless the project team has a more accurate estimate1. The other options are incorrect because they either make the credit impossible or too easy to achieve, or they do not account for the tenant's purchasing at all.

Projects may exclude up to 10% of the total gross building floor area from the LEED project boundary, which
will apply consistently throughout the submission except in EQ Environmental Tobacco Smoke, where the entire
building must be considered. Projects may take an additional 10% exemption on a credit-by-credit basis if it is
not possible to gather the necessary tenant data for these credits, or the applicant does not have control over the
required element (this additional 10% may not be applied to the EA Prerequisite Minimum Energy Performance). LEED OM Manual Page 19
