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.
