FAQs about WEc1 :

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?

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?

NC-2009 WEc1:Water Efficient Landscaping

Irrigation by hose

Hi, my project will use non-potable irrigation by hose, but the template of LEED online don't show this option. How can I calculate the efficiency of this method? Thanks in advance

Hi Marcio, I don't have personal experience with the situation you're describing, but the reference manual does say that hose bibs are not considered permanent irrigation. To me, that means you could say that the area in question does not use any water for the purpose of the calculations, but I'm not 100% sure.
