Rainwater harvesting is NOT possible in Phoenix, Arizona. It has been determined that there is sufficient water being discharged from the cooling tower that can be treated and stored and used to provide 100% of the water required for the landscaping for this project. Calculations will be provided with the application submittal to substantiate this reuse of wastewater. Does the use of the water discharge from the cooling tower meet the intent for WE Credits 1.1 and 1.2? Would this method of reusing water be considered for an innovation credit in addition to receiving Credits 1.1 and 1.2 since it currently is not addressed by LEED?
Utilizing cooling tower discharge can be considered using \'recycled site water\' and would qualify for this credit. Since the cooling tower discharge will apply to these credits it would not also qualify for an innovation point. Applicable Internationally.
