uma medio de 0 a 100 que determina a preciso com que uma fonte de luz
artificial, em comparao com uma lmpada incandescente, exibe matizes.
Quanto maior o nmero do ndice, maior a preciso da reproduo de cor da
luz. A iluminao incandescente tem um ndice de reproduo de cor acima de
95; iluminao de sdio de alta presso padro (como luzes de rodovia de cor
alaranjada) tm ndices de aproximadamente 25; diversas fontes
fluorescentes que utilizam fsforos de terra rara tm ndices de reproduo de
cor de 80 e acima. (Adaptado de U.S. ENERGY STAR)
o sistema mais comum em uma regio para fornecer gua a plantas por
meios no naturais. Um sistema de irrigao convencional geralmente usa
presso para fornecer gua e distribu-la por meio de sprinklers acima do
solo.
uma medio horizontal interna de 1000 lux ou mais de luz solar direta que
responde por transmitncia de janela e efeitos angulares e exclui o efeito de
qualquer persiana opervel, sem contribuio da luz refletida (ou seja, anlise

para seres humanos, animais ou o meio ambiente, pelo prprio item/agente
ou atravs de interao com outros fatores
qualquer gua liberada por uma fbrica. Antes que a gua possa ser usada
para irrigao, sua qualidade precisa ser verificada. No se deve usar gua
salina ou corrosiva para irrigao.
um terreno em que pelo menos 75% da rea de superfcie, exceto por vias de
trfego, a menos de 0,5 milha (800 metros) do limite do projeto previamente
desenvolvida. Uma rua ou outra via de trfego no constitui terreno
previamente desenvolvido; o status da propriedade no outro lado da via de
trfego ou rua que importa.
a vida til operacional de uma fonte de luz artificial, como lmpadas. A vida
til de lmpadas fluorescentes determinada com um teste que deixa a
lmpada acesa por trs horas para cada 20 minutos de lmpada apagada.
Para lmpadas de descarga de alta densidade, o teste deixa a lmpada acesa
por 11 horas para cada 20 minutos de lmpada apagada. A vida til da
lmpada depende de o lastro ser programado ou instantneo. Essa informao
fornecida pelo fabricante. Tambm chamada de vida til mdia nominal.
uma organizao privada sem fins lucrativos que, como toda ou parte de sua
misso, trabalha ativamente para preservar a terra realizando ou auxiliando
em servido ambiental ou aquisio de terras, ou por sua responsabilidade
sobre tais terras ou servides (Adaptado da Land Trust Alliance)

para segurana da gua potvel (Safe Drinking Water Act), que permite
pequenas quantidades de chumbo em soldas, fundentes, tubos, conexes e
bombas de poos
servio de transporte que utiliza trens com dois ou trs vages em uma via
normalmente separada de outros meios de transporte. A distncia entre
estaes costuma ser de meia milha (800 metros) ou mais, e as velocidades
mximas de operao so normalmente de 40 a 55 mph (65 a 90 km/h).
Geralmente, corredores para veculos leves sobre trilhos se estendem por 10
ou mais milhas (16 quilmetros).
da luz emitida por uma fonte, derivada de padres da indstria, obtida com
lastro instantneo com um fator de lastro de 1,0 medido a 40% da vida til da
lmpada (exceto para lmpadas T-5, que utilizam lastro programado)
itens que podem ser movidos pelos usurios sem o uso de ferramentas ou
auxlio de empresas especializadas e gesto de instalaes
um terreno cujo master plan inclui o desenvolvimento de lojas, restaurantes e
outros negcios. Os varejistas podem compartilhar alguns servios e reas
comuns.
um exame do solo, com base nos EUA, que mostra os limites de diferentes
tipos de solo e caractersticas especiais do solo no terreno
uma rea pela qual as pessoas passam ou uma rea usada para atividades
concentradas por uma mdia de menos de uma hora por pessoa por dia. O
perodo de uma hora contnuo e deve ser baseado no tempo em que um
ocupante tpico utiliza o espao. Para espaos que no so usados
diariamente, o perodo de uma hora deve ser baseado no tempo que um
ocupante tpico passa no espao quando ele est em uso.
um paciente que no fica hospitalizado por 24 horas ou mais, mas que visita
um hospital, clnica ou unidade de sade associada para diagnstico ou
tratamento

outro local onde um paciente recebe tratamento clnico
a carga mxima de eletricidade em um ponto especfico no tempo ou ao
longo de um perodo de tempo
uma estrutura que no pode ser movida pelo usurio sem ferramentas ou o
auxlio de empresas especializadas e gesto de instalaes. Exemplos incluem
coifas de laboratrio, divisrias fsicas, divisrias opacas desmontveis de
altura total ou parcial, algumas telas e equipamentos.
uma substncia que representa um risco de longo prazo para seres humanos
e o meio ambiente, pois permanece no ambiente por perodos longos,
aumenta em concentrao conforme escala a cadeia alimentar e pode viajar
para longe da fonte de contaminao. Frequentemente, essas substncias
podem se tornar mais potentes e prejudiciais aos ecossistemas conforme sua
permanncia aumenta. Consulte o site da Agncia de Proteo Ambiental
(EPA) dos EUA sobre produtos qumicos bioacumulativos persistentes e
txicos, www.epa.gov/pbt/.
uma medio da eficincia com que uma central de dados usa sua energia;
especificamente, quanta energia usada por equipamentos de computador,
no para resfriamento e outros equipamentos
um terreno que, antes do projeto, era formado por pelo menos 75% de
terreno previamente desenvolvido
um item que concluiu seu ciclo de vida e est preparado para reuso sem
alterao significativa de sua forma. O processo de reforma inclui renovao,
reparao, restaurao ou, geralmente, melhora da aparncia, desempenho,
qualidade, funcionalidade ou valor de um produto.
uma rea na qual uma ou mais pessoas normalmente passam tempo (mais
de uma hora por pessoa por dia, em mdia) sentadas ou em p enquanto
trabalham, estudam ou realizam outras atividades dentro de um edifcio. O
perodo de uma hora contnuo e deve ser baseado no tempo em que um
ocupante tpico utiliza o espao. Para espaos que no so usados

ocupante tpico passa no espao quando ele est em uso.
uma rea designada para ser equipada para expanso futura. O espao da
casca delimitado pelo envelope do edifcio, mas deixado inacabado.
uma rea cujas funes podem ser alteradas facilmente. Por exemplo,
escritrios de administrao de hospitais podem ser movidos de forma que o
espao flexvel possa ser transformado em laboratrio. Em contraste, seria
difcil mudar o local de um laboratrio com equipamentos e infraestrutura
especializados.
a frao de energia solar que refletida por uma superfcie em uma escala de
0 para 1. Tinta preta tem uma refletncia solar de 0; tinta branca (dixido de
titnio) tem uma refletncia solar de 1. A tcnica padro para a determinao
utiliza medies espectrofotomtricas, com uma esfera totalizadora para
determinar a refletncia em cada comprimento de onda. Ento, a refletncia

espectro solar padro documentado pelas Normas E903 e E892 da ASTM.
a parte de vidro de uma janela externa que permite vistas para a rea
externa ou interna. A viso de vidraa deve possibilitar uma imagem clara da

Vida til operativa de una fuente de luz artificial, como una bombilla. La vida
de la lmpara de luces fluorescentes se determina con una prueba que
consiste en tres horas de encendido por cada 20 minutos de apagado. En
lmparas de alta densidad de descarga, la prueba se basa en 11 horas de

de si el balasto de arranque es programado o instantneo. Estos datos se
publican en la informacin del fabricante. Tambin se conoce como vida til

espacio. Para espacios que no se usen diariamente, el periodo de una hora
debe basarse en el tiempo que el ocupante tpico para en el espacio cuando
est en uso
