FAQs about WEc2 :

The credit language says the Option 2 involves a reduction in wastewater. Does that mean that all water, including process water, should be included?

Can project teams include reclaimed water systems that are planned and funded, but not completed?

NC-2009 WEc2:Innovative Wastewater Technologies

Is groundwater ok for Wec2?

There is a non-potable aquifer under the building's basement. Can we install a well to extract this water and use it for irrigation and flush the toilets? This would reduce the quantity needed of potable water. Or is this not allowed as this water could be treated?. The city supplies water from the a large river, so groundwater is not used except where people drill and use this water for their use. Thank you!

Alexander, if you look in the LEED Reference Guide or in our guidance above you'll find language related to this. Off the cuff, I am pretty sure there is a provision allowing for use of water that is basically flooding a basement. That doesn't sound exactly like your situation, however.
