NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
Hi,
I'm now working on a project under LEED certification according to NC v2009.
We collect rainwater to provide non-potable water to wc.
May we consider this water in WEp1 and WEc3 calculation?
If the answer is yes, since this form does not allow to account it as WEc2, may we click on one of the two option related to "ADDITIONAL DETAILS" in order to upload a dedicated spreadsheet to justify it?
Thanks!

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?
Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Fabio,
you can consider this in the calculations. See the document here: http://www.usgbc.org/resources/water-use-reduction-additional-guidance.
In a recent project with approved design review I uploaded the calcs and narrative in WEc2 and used the alternative compliance path text box in WEc3 to refer to WEc2 (WEp1 was achieved with low flow fixtures).
