Submeter on exterior hose bibs

We have the same question - any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated!

The credit language does not require the irrigation system to be 'permanent'. However, it also states that areas that do not require routine irrigation can be excluded. Hose bibbs are considered temporary irrigation and are not expected to be used routinely (e.g. daily) but rather during drought times of the year. Exclusion is up to the discretion of the project team.  I would include a narrative stating that "all irrigated landscape areas, both permanently and temporarily irrigated, have been included within the submetering requirements". In my opinion this would meet the intent and demonstrate credit achievement.  

Has anyone had success with this method? Thanks!

Any update on whether this qualifies for water metering? 

Has anyone gotten approval on this credit using temp irrigation as one of the systems metered?

I had the same situation and was told no by our LEED Coach. They said basically that if watering plants by hand would be a large enough consumer of water to require submetering under this credit, one could argue that an irrigation system should have been installed.
