FAQs about WEc3 :

What if the building has no irrigation systems?

Can I still use Option 1 if I have metered irrigation water use data but it’s only for a couple of months or not the whole irrigation season?

The site already uses reclaimed water for irrigation provided by the water utility or reuses graywater from the building for irrigation. Can the building still qualify for the credit?

To determine the baseline for Option 1, how can we determine what “conventional” practices are?

EBOM-2009 WEc3:Water Efficient Landscaping

The reclaim water project on going

Hi, I am working on a LEED project. My performance period is from April to July, 2012. During that time, I am also working on the reclaim water project which is used for cooling tower make-up and irrigation. The design stage has been finished and now we are under construction. The project is expected to be completed by end of 2012. Before that, we are still using portable water for irrigation & cooling tower. Is there any way that my ongoing project will be counted for the credit? Thanks in advance.

Hi Linh, I'm no review expert, but I don't see how this would fly since during the performance period you need to demonstrate that the strategy is in place. In this credit specifically you must show the potable water use and reclaim or reuse water use % and back it up with meter readings in order to achieve. Hope this helps!
