From an operations perspective, we believe the Water, Energy, Waste, and IEQ credit categories should have a more balanced point allocation. With increasing concerns over access to fresh water, the Water category should carry a higher point value to incentivize greater water efficiency and performance. Many climate risks threaten access to, or pollution of, available freshwater supplies – yet the resilience strategies barely address freshwater access. The credit/points should emphasize overall water efficiency rather than simply measuring wasted water. The credit/points should be increased from 14 to 20 and reevaluated to provide more recognition of water efficiency in addition to water use intensity.
