If a site will have no irrigation installed (permanent or temporary) is one still required to complete the baseline and design case information as part of the submittal requirements (tables WE c1-1

I had the following question which I am sending to the GBCI as well but I wanted to consult with you guys to understand what you have seen based on experience: Establishing the baseline case- WEc

We are certifying a project NC 2009 and we are counting in our credit with a non potable reservoir outside the LEED Boundary but is within the limits of the property.
