Which of the following buildings meets the Minimum Program Requirements for LEED certification?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The Minimum Program Requirements (MPRs) for LEED certification are:
MPR 1: Must be in a permanent location on existing land
MPR 2: Must use reasonable LEED boundaries
MPR 3: Must comply with project size requirements
Option A does not meet MPR 1 because it is located on a previously undeveloped site, which is not considered existing land. Option B does not meet MPR 3 because it is a parking garage, which is excluded from LEED certification unless it is part of a larger project. Option C does not meet MPR 1 because it is a mobile clinic, which is not considered permanent. Option D meets all the MPRs because it is a permanent building on existing land, it has reasonable LEED boundaries, and it meets the minimum gross floor area of 1,000 ft2 (93 m2) for BD+C projects.
