NC-v4 WEc2:Indoor water use reduction

Wash Bay Water Use

The building that I am currently working on features a single wash bay for large service trucks. I am wondering how this will effect my indoor water use. Is there any way to make a high pressure wash bay system efficient enough to comply with LEED Standards? If we were to capture and reuse the water used in this system, will this be sufficient?

Caroline - the wash bay for large trucks is considered a "process' water use not a standard indoor water usage so it is not considered in the WEc2 calculation. If you are interested in water reuse on the project, better perhaps to capture the relatively clean grey water from the indoor water fixtures to filter then use to wash the trucks rather than capture the dirty/greasy water off the trucks for reuse.
