LEED for Homes

Stormwater Design:  Quality Control

Sustainable Sites Credit 6.1:  1 Point - Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by managing  stormwater runoff.
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:  1 Point – 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:  1 Point – Use only captured rain or recycled site water to eliminate all potable water use for site irrigation.

Innovative Waster Water Technologies: 

Water Efficiency Credit 2:  1 Point - 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:  1 Point - 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% Reduction

Water Efficiency Credit 3.2:  1 Point - 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).
