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?

Schools-2009 WEc1:Water Efficient Landscaping

Artificial Turf Cooling

We have a project using artificial turf for the football field so it does not require irrigation, but it does need to be rinsed and cooled down. I don't know the specifics of rinsing the turf but does anyone know if the water for rinsing and cooling needs to be included in this credit? Thanks.

Lauren, I would say that's not irrigation—sounds like more of a "process load." Probably not covered in LEED at all, but if it does turn up, it would be under WEc4.
