Hi, I am experiencing some discrepancy between the written in the subject appendix and the LEED v3 Online submittal forms. We are working on a CS project that wants to achieve 100% of the potable water use for sewage conveyance. Credit WEc2 falls in Case B of the appendix, however there is no way to distinguish this in the submittal form and the basis for the flush fixture water use annual volume is the whole building (incl. the allowance we have made for tenant). Any thoughts?

Maria, my best guess would be that the forms have been updated and are relfecting a newer policy than what is in the Reference Guide. However, the only thing wrong with that idea is that I don't remember seeing an addendum on this. It could be a mistake.Have you learned more since you posted this question?

Tristan, after we have submitted the credit claiming Innovation point without consideration of tenants we have received the following response from GBCI, better late than never:
"A credit in Category B of Appendix 4 is able to earn the credit for the base building, without consideration of any tenant improvements. Achieving an exemplary performance credit, however, must include the whole building. The "Exemplary Performance" section at the end of the appendix explains the options available. "
The review is in a delay, so we are still not sure whether our ID credit will be accepted or not. Will keep you posted when the review is out.
