How many total possible credits exist for sustainable sites in LEED certification?

  1. 5

  2. 7

  3. 9

  4. 12

The correct answer is: 7

The total possible credits for sustainable sites in LEED certification is 10. However, if you consider only certain versions of LEED, the number of credits available can vary slightly. In the more commonly referenced LEED rating system, such as LEED v4, there are indeed 10 possible credits specifically under the Sustainable Sites category. This category addresses the importance of managing the site's impact on ecosystems and water resources, promoting sustainable landscaping practices, and reducing heat islands. The incorrect answers represent fewer credits than are actually available under the Sustainable Sites section. Each number reflects a different aspect of the LEED framework, but for Sustainable Sites, the accurate total is 10 credits.
