Hi everyone,

Just wondering what documentation have folks used to achieve this credit? Is any documentation required besides mechanical drawings?

Thanks!

Hi Marelle, This credit is currently closed for registration, but if you have already registered, the following credit-specific documentation is required: "Provide documentation showing that the project meets all requirements including:

Documentation showing that the project is designated as systems 7 or 8 under ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Appendix G Table G3.1.1
Documentation (site plan or mechanical system plan, energy model or other) showing that the project design case does not include a cooling tower or other system that uses the latent heat of the evaporative cooling of water, and is not connected to a District cooling system..

Documentation should be uploaded under the Cooling Tower Water Use credit form in LEED Online". In addition to the Credit Specific documentation, you will need to provide proof that you participated in the LEEDuser forum, and completed the USGBC feedback survey.

Hi Talia, I didn't know that this credit is closed for new registrations. Is there an alternative for nonresidential and more than 5 Floors to earning 2 points? Maybe via version v4.1? Thank you
