FAQs about WEc1 :

We are using non-potable water for irrigation. For drought conditions, can we hook up to a potable water source for backup and still earn this credit?

Can non-potable well water that is used for irrigation contribute to potable water reduction?

Can surface water, such as water from an irrigation ditch or a local creek, be used as nonpotable water?

Do interior planters count in the calculation?

NC-2009 WEc1:Water Efficient Landscaping

Irrigation area

If my project consists of 10,000sf of greenery but only 3,000sf is irrigated, do I need to insert 10,000sf or 3,000sf as a total area in the LEED Online form (both baseline and design case)?

Use only the area that is irrigated.

Thank you William! I was worried that this area will not be equal to the amount I have in SSc6. stormwater calculations.

You could use the 10,000sf number, but you would label the 7,000sf as non-irrigated in both the baseline and design case, and set your IE to 0. The resultant will be the same.
