Which of the following is not a LEED credit category?

  1. Location and transportation

  2. Indoor air quality

  3. Sustainable sites

  4. Materials and resources

The correct answer is: Indoor air quality

The correct answer is that indoor air quality is not a standalone LEED credit category. Rather, it is a significant aspect considered within the "Indoor Environmental Quality" credit category. This category focuses on enhancing indoor environments to ensure the health and comfort of occupants, addressing factors like air quality, lighting, thermal comfort, and acoustic performance. The other options represent established LEED credit categories that contribute to the overall sustainability of a building. "Location and Transportation" deals with the project's site selection and accessibility, promoting development in locations that reduce environmental impact and support public transportation. "Sustainable Sites" emphasizes creating and maintaining landscapes that protect ecosystems and promote long-term sustainability. "Materials and Resources" revolves around the selection and management of materials to minimize negative impacts on the environment while promoting resource efficiency. Understanding these categories is crucial for professionals studying for the LEED Green Associate exam, as they encapsulate the breadth of strategies available for achieving sustainability in building projects.
