Water Use Reduction: 20%

LEED 2.2 Requirements:

Employ strategies that in aggregate use 20% less water than the water use baseline calculated for the building (not including irrigation) after meeting the Energy Policy Act of 1992 fixture performance Requirements LEED 2.2. Calculations are based on estimated occupant usage and shall include only the following fixtures (as applicable to the building): water closets, urinals, lavatory faucets, showers and kitchen sinks.

Submittals (DESIGN):

- Provide the project's calculated occupant(s). The template will use a default one-to-one men to women ratio. Projects with special occupancy situations that result in an unbalanced ratio may enter project specific data for this credit.
- Provide percent of male restrooms with urinals.
- Provide annual days of operation.
- Provide the project's calculated baseline water usage (flush and flow fixtures). This data is calculated using typical fixture types (provided in the template) and the project's mix of occupants.
- Provide the project's calculated design case water usage (flush and flow fixtures). This data is calculated using project specified fixture types the project's mix of occupants. Note: project teams must provide the following fixture information for each typical installed flush fixture type: fixture manufacturer, fixture model, flush rate in gallons per flush (gpf) or flow rate in gallons per minute (gpm).
- For projects using non-potable water for sewage conveyance, provide the total non-potable water supply (gal) available for sewage conveyance purposes.
- Provide a narrative describing the potable water reduction strategies employed by the project and include specific data regarding any water saving fixtures and/or reclaimed water usage (greywater re-use / rainwater reuse). AND (For Projects With Special Circumstances)
- Provide an optional narrative to describe any additional comments or notes regarding special circumstances or considerations regarding the project's credit approach.
