Hello everyone,
Currently, we have a manufacturing facility registered for LEED NC BD+C V4.
This project does not have any landscape area at the moment.
I would like to know does this project entitled to earn 2 points (Option 1) for the Outdoor Water Use Reduction Credit
as it is mentioned in the reference guide (Page 289)?
Because previously we have the 5% minimum landscape area required (from the boundary area) to attempt this credit.
Thanks,
Azfar

Hi anyone looking for this credit update:
I managed to get reply from GBCI which is, a project without landscape area qualifies for option 1 under LEED v4.
Here is their reply snip
Thank you for contacting GBCI regarding WEc Outdoor Water Use Reduction. Projects with no landscaping are eligible for Option 1 of this credit. Step 2 of the Step by Step Guidance in the LEED v4 BD+C Reference Guide states, "Option 1 is for projects that do not require irrigation, based on the project location and landscape design. This credit can also be achieved by projects that have no landscape area."
