We have a water feature (fountain) on the patio at our project in Ohio, US.  What credit (indoor/outdoor water use reduction), if any, should that water use be calculated into?  What USGBC regulations would apply to the fountain?

Hi Justin, You don't have to worry about the fountain. It is not part of the irrigation system, so outdoor water use doesn't apply, and it's not an indoor user fixture, so also doesn't apply. This was also asked under the Outdoor Prereq, for reference: https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/outdoor-water-feature-decorative-water-fountain 
and the Outdoor Credit: https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/water-fountains-and-impact-outdor-water-use-reduction-leed-v4
so at least we all have consistent responses. Enjoy your exclusion.
