We work on a project that has Drycoolers, all water user is non-potable. Since there is no closed loop and make up water this system there no treatment. Can we pursue both 4.1 and 4.2 credits?

Hi Wagner
This is a good question. And I'm not sure if I have a 100% certain answer, but it seems to me that you would be eligible for WEc4.2 because the system in and of itself uses no potable water.
As for WEc4.1, I'm inclined to say that your project would not be eligible - the intent of the credit is for water quality (not quantity as in WEc4.2), so you'd need to be using water to achieve it.
You can always try and submit both as I'm assuming the documentation would be similar by submitting an Alternative Compliance Path option. But if you want a more definitive answer, I'd suggest submitting a CIR.
Thanks

Hi Hanna, is it then reasonable to even consider it as an exemplary performance since using 100% non-potable water?
Thanks
