FAQs about WEc1 :

Can non-potable well water that is used for irrigation contribute to potable water reduction?

Can surface water, such as water from an irrigation ditch or a local creek, be used as nonpotable water?

Do interior planters count in the calculation?

We are using non-potable water for irrigation. For drought conditions, can we hook up to a potable water source for backup and still earn this credit?

Can someone direct me to where in the Reference manual it states that the ratio of landscaped area to site area has to be greater than 5%?

Drew, you can find it in the first paragraph, page 183 in the hard copy version, page 210 if you have the pdf version. "If the planters and garden space cover less than 5% of the building site area, the project is ineligible for this credit" (meaning WEc1 credit).
