LEED NEW CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST WATER EFFICIENCY

LEED NEW CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST SUSTAINABLE SITES


Prerequisite 1: Water Use Reduction - 20% Reduction

LEED NEW CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST SUSTAINABLE SITES


Prerequisite 1: Water Use Reduction - 20% Reduction
Potential Technologies & Strategies  WaterSense certified fixtures and fixture fittings  High-efficiency fixtures (e.g., water closets and urinals)  Dry fixtures, such as toilets attached to composting systems  Alternative on-site sources of water (rainwater, stormwater, & AC condensate) and graywater for uses such as custodial needs, toilet & urinal flushing
*The quality of any alternative source of water used must be taken into consideration based on its application or use.

Credit 1: Water Efficient Landscaping (2-4pts)
Intent: To limit or eliminate the use of potable water or other natural surface or subsurface water resources available on or near the project site for landscape irrigation.

Credit 1: Water Efficient Landscaping (2-4pts)
REQUIREMENTS: OPTION 1. Reduce by 50% (2 points) Reduce potable water consumption for irrigation by 50% from a calculated midsummer baseline case. Reductions must be attributed to any combination of the following items:  Plant species, density and microclimate factor  Irrigation efficiency  Use of captured rainwater  Use of recycled wastewater  Use of reclaimed water

Credit 1: Water Efficient Landscaping (2-4pts)
OPTION 2. No Potable Water Use or Irrigation (4 points) Meet the requirements for Option 1 AND PATH 1 Use only captured rainwater, recycled wastewater, recycled graywater or water treated and conveyed by a public agency specifically for nonpotable uses for irrigation (reclaimed water). OR PATH 2 Install landscaping that does not require permanent irrigation systems. Temporary irrigation systems used for plant establishment are allowed only if removed within 1 year of installation.
*If the percent reduction of potable water is 100% AND the percent reduction of total water is equal to or greater than 50%, both Option 1 and Option 2 are earned.

Credit 2: Innovative Waste Water Technologies (2pts)
Requirements OPTION 1 Reduce potable water use for building sewage conveyance by 50% through the use of water-conserving fixtures (e.g., water closets, urinals) or nonpotable water (e.g., captured rainwater, recycled graywater, on-site or municipally treated wastewater). OR OPTION 2 Treat 50% of wastewater on-site to tertiary standards. Treated water must be infiltrated or used on-site.

Credit 3: Water Use Reduction (2-4pts)
Intent: To further increase water efficiency within buildings to reduce the burden on municipal water supply and wastewater systems.

LEED NEW CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST SUSTAINABLE SITES


Credit 3: Water Use Reduction (2-4pts)
Use less water than baseline: 30% = 2 points 35% = 3 points 40% = 4 points 45% = 1 E.P. point
