Local health officials report a surge in respiratory illness. Which set of measures reflects a respiratory-disease management mode for the building's HVAC?
Correct: (d) Increase outdoor air where capacity allows, raise filtration on recirculated air, add portable HEPA units When the contaminant is an infectious aerosol generated indoors, the mode aims to lower its concentration: more outdoor air for dilution where coil capacity allows, higher-efficiency filtration on recirculated air, and portable HEPA air cleaners in dense or poorly ventilated rooms. A Resilient Spaces management mode sets out these levers, and the triggers for using them, before the event.
In the reporting year, a building burned natural gas on site producing 265 t CO2e, purchased grid electricity producing 400 t CO2e, and lost refrigerant equal to 20 t CO2e. What are its Scope 1 emissions?
Correct: (b) 285 t CO2e Scope 1 covers direct emissions from sources the building controls: on-site fuel combustion and refrigerant leakage. 265 + 20 = 285 t CO2e. Purchased electricity is an indirect Scope 2 emission, reported separately even though it results from the building's own consumption.
A bird collision facade assessment assigns each exterior material a threat factor and weights it by facade area. Which element should the team expect to carry the highest threat factor?
Correct: (d) A clear glass skybridge where birds can see sky and trees through both sides Threat factors rank how hazardous a material or condition is to birds, and the facade result is area-weighted. Transparent fly-through conditions such as glass corners, skybridges, and glass railings are among the most dangerous because birds perceive a clear flight path; opaque, screened, or densely patterned surfaces rate far lower. Reducing high-threat glazing area lowers the weighted result.

What changed in the current exam cycle
- The LEED AP O+M exam is moving to LEED v5: v4 testing ended June 28, 2026; the v5 beta (English only, no combined GA + AP format) runs until the final v5 exam, expected early 2027. Domain question counts sum to 85; the rest of the 100 items are unscored.
- O+M emphasizes performance periods, ongoing reporting, and existing-building operations rather than new-construction design credits.
- Energy and Atmosphere and Indoor Environmental Quality remain the heaviest specialty domains for O+M.
High-yield facts (commonly tested)
- Specialty exam: 100 MCQ in 2 hours; scaled pass 170/200.
- Active LEED Green Associate is required for the specialty-only registration path.
- Study operations performance periods, metering, retro-/monitoring-based commissioning, waste diversion, and IAQ operations — not BD+C design modeling alone.
- Primary v5 reference: LEED v5 Reference Guide for Operations and Maintenance (July 2026 edition); confirm the current handbook for your test date.
