FAQs about WEc4 :

We currently have metering in place for one water subsystem. We want to install metering for a second subsystem so we can earn this credit. Can we do this during the performance period?

We cannot get weekly meter data from the utility. Does this mean we cannot achieve this credit because the water is tracked monthly instead of weekly?

Rainwater Harvesting - Irrigation and Reclaimed Water?

We have an office project that will have some large rainwater collection tanks that will be used for irrigation. Since reclaimed water and irrigation are two separate subsystems under this credit, can a rainwater tank for irrigation serve as both of these subsystem uses? Thanks very much, Doug Snyder HCMC, Vietnam

I checked the glossary on USGBC's website and it looks like Reclaimed Water refers to wastewater that has been treated and purified for reuse. So, it doesn't seem like the captured rainwater would qualify under the reclaimed water category. See the USGBC glossary here https://www.usgbc.org/glossary
