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

building fills site...

Im documenting LEED credits for a building that re-uses an existing site in downtown area (the building footprint completely fills the site). Thus, there are no vegetated areas (no green roof either). Since there is nothing to irrigate, does this mean the credit can be achieved? Or is it not eligible?

only if you have at least 5% of the site landscaped... you'd have to use planters. Not sure if you have enough room for planters for 5% of the site area?
