FAQs about SSc6.2 :

Why do the requirements focus on 1-year and 2-year, 24-hour storms?

Why include the 1-year storm in the credit requirements? Won't management practices for the 2-year storm be effective?

How can green roofs count as a stormwater control measure?

How can I achieve compliance if my project's stormwater control measures are outside the LEED project boundary?

I have 100-year data—how do I convert to 2-year?

Is it an acceptable strategy to capture the rainwater into tanks and discharge it into the public sewers after the rainstorm reducing the peak discharge?

Are there special considerations for international projects?

What performance threshold do I need to achieve for an Exemplary Performance point?

The calculations for this credit are always a headache! While our projects are usually awarded the credit, the equations in the LEED Reference Guide are helpful mostly for sizing a reservoir or cistern, but don't help you get to the final results. Does US

TSS RETENTION

Hello! We are having a hard time justifying the 80% retention of TSS. In Europe the manufacturers of filters do not have this information in their technical catalogs, the efficiency of a filter is measured by the size of the net, in microns or millimeters. Our question is - is there a way to turn the filter dimension in TSS removal efficiency percentage?

This is something I would put back on the product manufacturer, and have them provide an efficiency rating.

Thanks Michael! We are trying and pushing for manufacturers to give us this information, but it is not easy. Could you send us a technical catalog of filters, where appers this information from the percentage of retention of TSS? Just to have a model, because we've never seen one .. in order to explain and give an example to manufacturers. My email is "pserra@societatorganica.com" thanks!!
