FAQs about WEc1 :

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?

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?

Hi Gisela, When the project was first registered, the project administrator should have selected a unit of measurement for the project - imperial or metric. That unit of measurement should be consistent throughout your project documentation.

William, when we made the first register, the leed on line version didn´t have this kind of choice.

Gisela, the easiest way I can think to check is to go to MRc2: Construction Waste Management. If the options in the drop down box are Ton or Cubic Yard, then your project is set up in Imperial. If it says, Tonne, Cubic Meter, Kilograms or some other option, then your project is set up in Metric. Whichever system of measure your project is set up in, you want to make certain that you use the same system throughout your documentation, else you will confuse your review team and very likely have a lot of review comments.

Hi Gisela, if you didn't have the chance to choose between Imperial or Metric, I would assume it is Imperial Units. The ET0 coefficient is entered in inches in this form.
