FAQs about WEc3 :

Can I still use Option 1 if I have metered irrigation water use data but it’s only for a couple of months or not the whole irrigation season?

The site already uses reclaimed water for irrigation provided by the water utility or reuses graywater from the building for irrigation. Can the building still qualify for the credit?

To determine the baseline for Option 1, how can we determine what “conventional” practices are?

What if the building has no irrigation systems?

Hey Cathy, did you find out what irrigation efficiency is acceptable for hand watering (with the use of a hose)? I was thinking of useing efficiency of 0.5 as some people were proposing in the comments below however it seems that noone was sure of this value. I will be gratefull for any feedback.

I did successfully use 0.5 for the irrigation efficiency of the hand watering at our facility. If your entire site uses only hand watering you can use Option 1 on the credit form.
