USGBC references the Indoor and Outdoor Water Reduction Calculators; any recommendations about additional tools a team should utilize in completing their water-budget analysis? EPA Water Budget Tool? Water Recovery Inc WBA model? Also, we have a copy of The Integrative Design Guide to Green Building (great stuff Marcus) is water-balance synonymous with water-budget analysis for the purpose of the LEED IP credit?

I need to learn more about the best tools to use as well! So I would love to hear recommendations myself. Yes a water balance and budget would be synonymous.

I am working on a project and i need to perform a water budget analysis. Is the EPA Water Budget Tool preferred for this? Does anyone have an example of an analysis they have done they can share?
