FAQs about WEc2 :

The credit language says the Option 2 involves a reduction in wastewater. Does that mean that all water, including process water, should be included?

Can project teams include reclaimed water systems that are planned and funded, but not completed?

We are collecting rainwater and using it for maintenance in the common areas. At the same time, we are achieving a 62% potable water use reduction installing low flush fixtures. Does the rainwater collection count towards potable water use reduction in WEc2 ?

Juan, probably not. This credit mainly looks at water use from toilets and urinals.Do you have a way to measure how much rainwater you are replacing, and does it go down the drain?
