USGBC LEED-AP-O+M Dumps Questions Answers

The calculation used to achieve the Materials and Resources Credit, Purchasing - Ongoing, focuses on the cost of compliant furniture. This approach aligns with the intent of the credit, which is to encourage the purchase of sustainable and environmentally friendly products. By assessing the cost of compliant furniture, the credit incentivizes the selection of products that meet specific environmental criteria, thereby contributing to a more sustainable procurement practice.

The LEED applicant must exclude the purchases of the other tenants from the Materials and Resources credit calculations, because they have not provided purchasing data and are not participating in the LEED project. The LEED applicant can only include the purchases that are under their control and can be verified.
