What performance threshold do I need to achieve for an Exemplary Performance point?

The calculations for this credit are always a headache! While our projects are usually awarded the credit, the equations in the LEED Reference Guide are helpful mostly for sizing a reservoir or cistern, but don't help you get to the final results. Does US

Why do the requirements focus on 1-year and 2-year, 24-hour storms?

Why include the 1-year storm in the credit requirements? Won't management practices for the 2-year storm be effective?

How can green roofs count as a stormwater control measure?

How can I achieve compliance if my project's stormwater control measures are outside the LEED project boundary?

I have 100-year data—how do I convert to 2-year?

Is it an acceptable strategy to capture the rainwater into tanks and discharge it into the public sewers after the rainstorm reducing the peak discharge?

Are there special considerations for international projects?

Hello When following the ACP, the LEED manual states that attenuation must be undertaken through Low Impact Development (LID) and green infrastructure strategies. In our development we are using large attenuation tanks which serve the adiabatic cooling for the data centre and the toilets flush and which discharge into an existing attenuation pond designed for the whole of the business park where the development is located. Would these measures qualify like LID’s. Thank you very much Regards Alicia

So runoff from the site is reused on site for toilet flushing and cooling towers? Any unused water is slowly discharged over time? I would consider this applicable, provided you meet all the peak rate and volume calculations.
