  1. 3. lighting ____ density. The installed lighting power per unit area.
  2. 5. ____ of liquid fuel. (unit)
  3. 9. from the manufacturing waste stream (preconsumer waste) or the consumer waste stream (postconsumer waste) and used to make new materials. For LEED, recycled content is typically expressed as a percentage of the total material volume or weight.
  4. 12. ____ of natural gas. (unit)
  5. 14. recycled ____. The percentage of material in a product that is
  6. 16. ____ wood. Wood that has been issued a certificate from an independent organization with developed standards of good forest management. This certificate verifies that wood products come from responsibly managed forests.
  7. 20. ____ energy. Electricity from photovoltaic cells that convert the energy in sunlight into electricity.
  8. 22. performance relative to ____. A comparison of a building system’s performance with a baseline that is equivalent to minimal compliance with an applicable energy code, such as ASHRAE Standard 90 or California’s Title 24.
  9. 23. ____ forestry. Management of forest resources to meet the long-term forest product needs of humans while maintaining the biodiversity of forested landscapes. The primary goal is to restore, enhance, and sustain a full range of forest values, including economic, social, and ecological considerations.
  10. 24. ____ material. Construction items recovered from existing buildings or construction sites and reused.
  11. 25. ____ hours of electricity. (unit)

  1. 1. sustained-____ forestry. Management of a forest to produce in perpetuity a high-level annual or regular periodic output, through a balance between increment and cutting. (Society of American Foresters)
  2. 2. salvaged materials include structural beams and posts, flooring, doors, cabinetry, brick, and decorative items.
  3. 4. A device that removes heat from a liquid, typically as part of a refrigeration system used to cool and dehumidify buildings.
  4. 6. The amount of building materials returned to active use (in the same or a related capacity as their original use), expressed as a percentage of the total materials cost of a building. The salvaged materials are incorporated into the new building, thereby extending the lifetime of materials that would otherwise be discarded.
  5. 7. renewable energy ____. A tradable commodity representing proof that a unit of electricity was generated from a renewable energy resource. RECs are sold separately from the electricity itself and thus allow the purchase of green power by a user of conventionally generated electricity.
  6. 8. ____-consumer recycled content. The percentage of material in a product that was consumer waste. The recycled material was generated by household, commercial, industrial, or institutional end users and can no longer be used for its intended purpose. This includes returns of materials from the distribution chain. Examples include construction and demolition debris, materials collected through recycling programs, discarded products (such as furniture, cabinetry, and decking), and landscaping waste (such as leaves, grass clippings, and tree trimmings).
  7. 10. performance relative to ____. A comparison of a building system’s performance with a standard, such as ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.
  8. 11. ____ thermal unit. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of liquid water from 60° to 61° Fahrenheit. This standard measure of energy is used to describe the energy content of fuels and compare energy use.
  9. 13. regional/locally ____ materials. Also known as regional materials, the amount of a building’s materials that are extracted, processed, and manufactured close to a project site, expressed as a percentage of the total materials cost. For LEED, regional materials originate within 500 miles of the project site.
  10. 15. waste ____. The amount of waste disposed of other than through incineration or in landfills, expressed in tons. Examples of waste diversion include reuse and recycling.
  11. 17. energy use ____. Energy consumption divided by the number of square feet in a building, often expressed as British thermal units (Btus) per square foot or as kilowatt-hours of electricity per square foot per year (kWh/sf/yr).
  12. 18. ____ fluorescent lamp. A small fluorescent lamp, used as a more efficient alternative to incandescent lighting
  13. 19. ____-consumer recycled content. The percentage of material in a product that was recycled from manufacturing waste. Preconsumer content was formerly knownas postindustrial content. Examples include planer shavings, sawdust, bagasse, walnut shells, culls, trimmed materials, overissue publications, and obsolete inventories. Excluded are rework, regrind, or scrap materials capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated them.
  14. 21. ____ renewable materials and products. The amount of a building’s agricultural products (fiber or animal) that are quickly grown or raised and can be harvested in a sustainable fashion, expressed as a percentage of the total materials cost. For LEED, rapidly renewable materials take 10 years or less to grow or raise.
