LEED for Commercial Projects
Storm Water Design: Quality Control
Sustainable Sites Credit 6.1: 1 point - Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by managing stormwater runnoff.
Sustainable Sites Credit 6.2: 1 point - Limit disruption of natural water flows by eliminating stormwater runoff, increasing on-site infiltration, and eliminating contaminant.
Water Efficient Landscaping: Reduce by 50%
Water Efficiency Credit 1.1: 2 points - Use captured rain or recycled site water to reduce potable water consumption for irrigation by 50% over conventional means.
Water Efficient Landscaping: No Potable Use or No Irrigation
Water Efficiency Credit 1.2: 2 points - Use only captured rain or recycled site water to eliminate all potable water use for site irrigation.
Innovative Wastewater Technologies
Water Efficiency Credit 2: 2 points - Reduce the generation of wastewater and potable water demand, while increasing the local aquifer recharge.
Water Use Reduction: 20% Reduction
Water Efficiency Credit 3.1: Required Maximize water efficiency within buildings to reduce the burden on municipal water supply and wastewater systems. Use 20% less water than the water use baseline calculated for the building (not including irrigation).
Water Use Reduction: 30% - 40% Reduction
Water Efficiency Credit 3.2: 2-4 points - Maximize water efficiency within buildings to reduce the burden on municipal water supply and wastewater systems. Use 30% less water than the water use baseline calculated for the building (not including irrigation).
- 30% reduction: 2 points
- 35% reduction: 3 points
- 40% reduction: 4 points
