39 LEED- Water Efficiency (WE) Credit LEED Requirements WE Credit 1.1: Use high efficiency irrigation technology, OR, use captured rain or recycled site water to reduce potable water consumption for irrigation by 50% over conventional means. (1 point) WE Credit 1.2: Use only captured rain or recycled site water for an additional 50% reduction (100% total reduction) of potable water for site irrigation needs, OR, do not install permanent landscape irrigation systems. (1 point) determine the evapotranspiration rate (ET0) for July for your project site. The values for ET0 in various regions throughout the U.S. can be found from regional weather data centers. The ET0 for July is used in the LEED calculation because this is typically the month with the greatest evapotranspiration effects and therefore the greatest irrigation demands. Input the regional ET0 for July in the Evapotranspiration.
40 WE Credit 1.1 Water Efficient Landscaping: Reduce by 50% 1 Point Intent 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. Requirements Reduce potable water consumption for irrigation by 50% from a calculated mid-summer baseline case. Reductions shall be attributed to any combination of the following items: Plant species factor Irrigation efficiency Use of captured rainwater Use of recycled wastewater Use of water treated and conveyed by a public agency specifically for non-potable uses Potential Technologies & Strategies Perform a soil/climate analysis to determine appropriate plant material and design the landscape with native or adapted plants to reduce or eliminate irrigation requirements. Where irrigation is required, use high-efficiency equipment and/or climate-based controllers.
41 WE Credit 1.2: Water Efficient Landscaping: No Potable Water Use or No Irrigation 1 Point in addition to WE Credit 1.1 Intent Eliminate the use of potable water, or other natural surface or subsurface water resources available on or near the project site, for landscape irrigation. Requirements Achieve WE Credit 1.1.and: Use only captured rainwater, recycled wastewater, recycled greywater, or water treated and conveyed by a public agency specifically for non-potable uses for irrigation. OR Install landscaping that does not require permanent irrigation systems. Temporary irrigation systems used for plant establishment are allowed only if removed within one year of installation. Potential Technologies & Strategies Perform a soil/climate analysis to determine appropriate landscape types and design the landscape with indigenous plants to reduce or eliminate irrigation requirements. Consider using stormwater, greywater, and/or condensate water for irrigation.

52 Think its too hard to bring sustainable design ideas to a project? Four simple things you can do without sacrificing budget, schedule, or program considerations: 1. Select and develop sites to promote livable communities. 2. Develop flexible designs to enhance building longevity. 3. Use natural strategies to protect and restore water resources. 4. Reduce environmental impacts related to energy use.
53 Here are four more ideas Conserve water and consider water reuse systems. 6. Use environmentally preferable building materials. 7. Use appropriate plant material. 8. Plan for recycling during construction, demolition, and occupancy.

55 LEED Sustainable Sites Initiative New Guidelines Coming Current LEED standards certify green buildings and sustainable structures. However, no official guidelines from the U.S. Green Building Council focus exclusively on site exteriors. The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is spearheading an effort to set this oversight straight. Called the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SSI), this new rating system will recognize performance in achieving sustainable sites much as LEED recognizes sustainable buildings. SSI guidelines will be incorporated into the next iteration of LEED standards. Once the SSI guidelines are published in spring 2009, general contractors, landscape architects, developers, builders, and maintenance crews who are prepared to take advantage of them stand to see interest in obtaining their services rising. Key Elements water use, habitat protection and reduced light pollution, can demonstrate to clients and other contractors an understanding of sustainable building practices green roof is insulating, bringing down heating and cooling costs. And the plants on a green roof protect it from harmful UV rays, prolonging the life of the roof and decreasing future maintenance costs. selecting native plants and placing them to properly reduce heat islands and wind effects does not take away from the appearance of a site at all. other steps you can take today to green your sites and plans is available from the Sustainable Sites Initiative and the U.S. Green Building Council.

64 Cost Studies The Cost of Green Revisited: Reexamining the Feasibility and Cost Impact of Sustainable Design in the Light of Increased Market Adoption, Lisa Matthiessen, Peter Morris, Davis Langdon, This update to the previous report ( Costing Green: A Comprehensive Cost Database and Budgeting Methodology ) revisits the question of cost of green construction. The report updates original building cost comparisons and examines both a larger sampling of buildings and additional building types. The report concludes that projects continue to achieve LEED standards within their established budgets, despite the recent dramatic rise in overall construction costs. The Cost & Benefit of Achieving Green Buildings, Davis Langdon, This report assesses the cost of achieving specific levels of green (using the Australian Green Star system) by comparing the budgets of green buildings to similar non-green buildings and concludes that there is a 3% to 5% premium for a 5-Star building, with an additional 5% for a 6-Star building. The report notes that standards in the country have been set so that reaching 4 Stars is usually easily achievable. Sustainability Offices, Simon Rawlinson, Davis Langdon, This is a cost study of an office building designed to meet a BREEAM Excellent rating. The report concludes that a 6% premium is due to sustainable design features for the building. A Business Case for Green Buildings in Canada, prepared for Industry Canada, This report focuses on initial and long-term financial implications of building green in Canada. It concludes that green buildings have a higher first cost, due to longer design times and use of nonstandard materials or systems, but that longterm cost benefits (money saved on energy, water, and so on) outweigh this first-cost premium.
65 Energy Efficient Landscape Design Guidelines to ensure some degree of energy conservation:. Good site selection and building placement Design to consider tree placement for shade and wind Designate planting zones according to watering needs Consider material selection for long term operation & maintenance Use fertilized, quality soil with good drainage Protect soil with mulch, rock or ground-covering plants Install drip irrigation where possible for maximum water efficiency Choose regionally appropriate plants that require little water Isolate water-intensive plants from sun and wind Water audits every 5 years to maximize irrigation efficiency
