FAQs about WEp1 :

The EPA WaterSense methodology and calculator allows only certain types of irrigation to be assigned to certain vegetation types. Why is this and won’t it skew results?

What if we just have a little green area on our rooftop? Is there a minimum amount of landscaped area to earn the prerequisite and credit?

Hello! 

I have an enquiry regarding this credit.

The LEED guide says  that food gardens may be include or exclude in the calculations at the project team discretion.

So if I have a food garden, and I want to exclude it from calculations, do I have to justificate why?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards.

Hi Maria, I think providing a brief narrative describing the food garden and it's square footage should be sufficient. That will help the reviewers confirm that the entire site area has been included/excluded appropriately.
