FAQs about WEc3 :

Can I still use Option 1 if I have metered irrigation water use data but it’s only for a couple of months or not the whole irrigation season?

The site already uses reclaimed water for irrigation provided by the water utility or reuses graywater from the building for irrigation. Can the building still qualify for the credit?

To determine the baseline for Option 1, how can we determine what “conventional” practices are?

What if the building has no irrigation systems?

EBOM-2009 WEc3:Water Efficient Landscaping

Irrigation of greenery out of LEED boundary

Hi all, our project does sub-meter water for irrigation. However, the facility manager uses this water also for watering greenery which is outside of LEED boundary (greenery owned by the city) thus the water consumption is much higher than it would be according OPTION 2 (I would use only greenery on the project site for the calculation). We want to install a water tank to retain rain water. Is it possible to go for OPTION 2 instead of OPTION 1 even though we are sub-metering water for irrigation? Thank you for any suggestions.

Jiri, you can choose whichever of the three credit options is most suitable for the project.
