NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
i understand the focus of the credit is water efficiency of the installed fixtures but can "Offsite" sources of nonpotable water such as captured rainwater, graywater, air conditioner condensate, cooling tower bleed off water, etc.,contribute to this credit?
Please advise
Thanks!

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?
Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Ahmed, LEED does not require that the nonpotable water source be onsite. Often, it is an offsite source, for example with treated water from a municipality.
