1. What are materials with recycled content?

Materials which have a certain amount of waste product or recycled product included in the manufacturing process.
2. Work from home encourages what culture?

Mixed use buildings with reduced travel (hence fuel & pollution) from travel
3. Why do walls in a building need to be insulated?

Reduce heat transfer / gain through conduction

Should not be farmland, endangered species, 100fet of wetland & parkland
5. What is the broad objective of using low VOC?

Reduced exposure of occupants to toxic chemicals resulting in respiratory and discomfort
6. What does Evapo-transpiration refer to?

7. What principle does composite toilet work?

Use of bacteria to treated organic waste and it can be reused as compost. Aerobic, no chemicals
8. How do VFD’s assist in green buildings?

Variable Frequency Drives regulate air conditioning per requirement / occupancy and hence reduce energy
consumption
9. Why are lighter shades of paint preferred?

Reflect away heat rather than conducting, reduced heat island effect
10. What does recycling construction debris encourage?

Prevents waste being sent to landfill. Also reduces waste and encourages onsite reuse
11. What is the intent of roof garden?

Roof garden reduces heat island effect and also reduces conductive heat gain by increasing insulating property of roof.
12. When should fresh air be pumped into the space?

When co2 levels are raised due to human occupancy
13. What are the ideal location of CO2 sensors?

3’-6” above floor: breathing zone
14. What is silt fencing?

Silt fence helps to prevents erosion & sedimentation by trapping silt from running water
15. What are Green Woods?

Green wood can be FSC certified or rapidly renewable
16. Trade off in LPD is accepted when?
igbcapexam.blogspot.com/p/igb.html 1/5
Whole building method, where one space can have higher LPD and one less, as long as total LPD is below ASHRAE
17. RWH calculations should be according to which parameters?

Rainfall, site imperviousness
18. What are factors determining IAQ?

Fresh air, VOC & contaminants, & daylight
19. What is the benefit of providing Individual controls to occupants?

Adjust personal climate, savings in energy
20. CFL is good replacement for?

Incandescent bulbs, halogens
21. What causes SBS?

Sick Building Syndrome – poor indoor environment quality and inadequate fresh air

Reduces water used for sewage conveyance
23. U Value or SHGC is important for a building in tropical climate should be?
Both are important.
24. What are Non shell elements?

Non Shell: doors, partitions, flooring, windows
25. What causes failure in day-lighting?

Inadequate glare control
26. Less VOC can cause what difference to occupants?

Better air quality, less VOC and toxins which result in respiratory issues
27. Runoff co-efficient for asphalt is low or high?

High
28. What are stabilization using structural controls?

Using structural controls to prevent sedimentation: silt fence, earth dikes, sediment basin, sediment traps
29. What are Xeriscapes and what are the benefits?

Landscape using minimum plants, cacti and hard materials, to reduce water consumption for landscape
30. RBTS best to treat which water?

Reed Bed Treatment System for waste water
31. Objective for purchasing products with recycled content?

Encourage recycling and use of recycled materials in manufacture process, reduce demand on virgin materials
32. What is the percentage of recycled content in steel?

20 – 25 % for steel
33. Building orientation is crucial why?
Reduced heat gain by longer axis facing north south
34. Examples of Post industrial recycled content?

Fly ash, steel
35. Maximum post development storm water run-off should be?

Less than pre development run off
36. Broad intent to design with daylight and view?

37. Installing moisture sensors in landscapes helps in?

Supplying water for landscape only when required (soil becoming dry)
38. What happens to the water flow in faucet when pressure is decreased?
Water flow is decreased
39. Economizers work in what principles?

Supplying fresh air only when rooms are occupied, co2 sensors
40. If the building is predominantly factory with other offices spaces attached to it what rating can we opt?
Green factories IGBC
41. What does the project team do when there is a challenge in the interpretation of a credit or prerequisite?
Submit CIR
42. What does the project team do when they have failed in getting a particular credit and they are confident in
getting?
Appeal
43. Could certification be achieved if the project gets maximum credits, except for one perquisite?
No, all prerequisite should be achieved
44. Who reviews the appeal?

Different Assessor, not the one who reviewed first time
45. How much time does IGBC takes for 1st Review?
30 days
46. What is the interval in which the pre-certified project should be updated with IGBC?
6 months
47. Green roof is installed to?

Roof garden reduces heat island effect and also reduces conductive heat gain by increasing insulating property of roof
48. Quantity of water required per head in a office building (as per NBC)?
45 litres / person / day
49. Quantity of water required per head for domestic and non domestic usage (as per NBC)? 135 litres / person /
day
50. Can a project apply for platinum rating if its gold rating in pre-certified?
Yes
51. Why we have to study the soil condition before landscape?

Appropriate plants species and irrigation systems
52. How does commissioning help?

Ensures proper installation and functioning per design, identifies any installation mistakes
53. CFC reduction/elimination in refrigerants helps in what?

Reduce ozone depletion
54. What is the benefit of construction waste management?

Prevent waste going to landfill
55. If there is substantial wood requirement in a building how to make it green?

FSC wood, rapidly renewable wood or MDF (recycled content)
56. What is the ASHRAE standard for ventilation?

ASHRAE 62.1
57. What does ASHRAE 55 speak about?

Thermal comfort: temperature and humidity
58. Where should the location of fresh air intakes be in a building?

Away from exhausts, smoking areas, and no pollutant source
59. What happens if we increase the ventilation in a building more than the ECBC standards? Better IAQ (more
fresh air) but increase in energy consumption
60. Which agency concern about construction IAQ management plan?

SMACNA, should be done by contractor and documented by taking photos
61. What does ENVIS concern about?

ENVIS: wet lands
62. Which is a brown field development?

Contaminated site, chemical or physical, landfill etc
63. What is the intent in developing in a previously developed site?

Reduce development of green fields and use sites within developed area rather than away from city
64. ECBC is been devised by?

ECBC was devised by Bureau of Energy Efficiency BEE
65. What happens if the local control regulations are stringent than the ECBC or ASHRAE standards.
Follow whichever is MOST stringent
66. ECBC has divided Indian into how many climate zones?
5 climate zone: Hot Dry, Warm Humid, Composite, Temperate, Cold
67. What does SRI property in a material define?

SRI is solar Reflectance Index, how much solar radiation is reflected
68. Oil grit separators are installed to:

To filter oil in storm water run-off
