Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The LEED for Homes Rating System adjusts the point thresholds for the Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum rating based on home size. Energy demand typically increases directly with building size. The more square feet in a building, the more energy it consumes. Therefore a larger house will have a larger threshold for energy consumption, though its energy use per square feet has no reason to increase. Minimizing the size of the building overall, though not a popular choice, is an easy way to reduce energy use.
