The envelope trade-off route allows a designer to

  • A.substitute a green building rating for compliance
  • B.defer compliance until the building is occupied
  • C.exceed one component's limit if another compensates
  • D.ignore the envelope requirements altogether

Answer: C

A heavily glazed facade may comply if the glass is better than required or the roof is insulated beyond the minimum, the whole envelope being assessed together. It suits a design whose architecture demands one departure.
