12:10 pm Hello Jean, Thanks a lot for the input. Now I get your point. So actually what we have in project is not a VRF system, but a chiller system, which carries water instead of refrigerant. As you...

Sloan has a new "hybrid" urinal that is basically waterless but does a pre-programmed, 1 gallon system flush every 72 hours. This solves a lot of maintenance and odor problems. However, how does the USGBC want us to calculate water use? Still Zero? When you account for reduced maintenance, it might be a "wash" so to speak......... WEc1 United States ...

Dear all, We are assessing a renovation project according to LEED v4. The company owning the building will use a lot of equipment (laboratory equipment) and maybe furniture from other building in this renovation project. Can this be considered in the calculation for option 2 in this credit, under the "Materials reuse "? Thank you in advance MRc3 ...

John-David, Thanks for the reply. However, my question was about the "zero" content of VOC. Do I still need to prove the calculations were based on "less water"? At the end, "There is NO VOC"!! It's a ZERO equation. Whether it is calculated with water or less water, does it make any difference? Log in or register to post comments dia2000@gmail.com dia2000@gmail.com @pump_upp- best...

the line on this one. Our v4 O+M:EB Volume program requires signage within 10 feet of all entrances. If we were to do less (e.g. not locate signage at every entrance) we would provide a policy that provides...
