A comprehensive rainwater management plan may include design elements such as
When planning a water-efficient landscape design, the designer should consider including
In addition to Materials and Resources Credit, Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction, Option 3. Building and Materials Reuse, salvaged materials contribute to the achievement of
An office building design has demonstrated reductions in landscape water use of 30% over baseline and indoor water use of 40%. These reductions qualify the project for:
A new five-story building with a 30,000 ft2 (2 800 m2) footprint is being designed on a previously disturbed100,000 ft2 (9 290 m2) site. The remaining on-grade surface will be 35,000 ft2 (3 250 m2) of asphalt parking, and 35,000 ft2 (3 250 m2) of native vegetated open space. To achieve a point for exemplary performance under Option 1 of Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Development - Protect or Restore Habitat, the design team will have to incorporate a native and/or adapted vegetated roof with a minimum area of
The design team is attempting to achieve the Increased Ventilation strategy in the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Enhanced Indoor Air Quality in a conference room. The associated ASHRAE standard requires 400 CFM (11.3 CMM) of ventilation air, but the local code requires 500 CFM (14.1 CMM) of ventilation air. What is the required minimum amount of ventilation air to achieve this credit?
A new commercial building is being designed to use small capacity air handling units. To meet the requirements of the Carbon Dioxide Monitoring strategy in the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Enhanced Indoor Environmental
Quality Strategies, where would CO2 monitors need to be located?
