Hi, our project is using 100% recycled water for cooling tower. Is this eligible for an ID credit? If so, can we submit the credit at construction review stage since we've already submitted for design review? Thank you.

No I do not think so, as there are other credits in the Pilot Credit library that could apply, and this very topic is a feature of v4. I recommend taking a look at PC17 and PC18 as options to gain a credit for your system. We too have been using more condensate from cooling coils for make up to cooling towers along with good chemical monitoring and treatment.

The project submittal tips document on www.gbci.org says you can pursue LEED EBOM WEc4.1 Cooling Tower Water Management for an ID point on a LEED NC Project. One path for earning this credit requires that makeup water consist of at least 50% nonpotable water. There are some additional requirements here http://www.usgbc.org/node/1732143?return=/credits/existing-buildings/v20...
