FAQs about SSc6.1 :

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

My project is using Option 1: Design stroms,Case 2 :Site with existing imperviousness mote than 50% LEED online template V 5.0 Table 6.1-3 Site runoff: Two year,24 hour Design storm quantity is requested to fill in cf/storm Just wish to re-confirm that the cf/storm stand for cubic feet per storm? Civil engineer had provided me a value in cubic meter 8900m3 per storm. Am I correct to fill that in form as 314300 cf/storm (using 1 cubic foot = 0.02831685 cubic meter) Thank you

It appears they are looking for total volume (quantity), not the rate, if that is the case the units are simply CF, convert your m^3 to f^3. I would put the total volume in this block and move on. CF/sec measures the rate, the volume that runs off per second. I am working on cleaning up a lot of this language for v4, so it is in actual engineering terminology.
