The best green strategies achieve multiple objectives with a single solution... and rainwater harvesting is one such strategy. First, by incorporating Green Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development (LID) measures (e.g., rain gardens, bioretention areas, porous paving) into the site design for the expected runoff for the 95th percentile of events, the project team has addressed rainwater management.
Next, additional potable water savings can be earned by using alternative water sources.In most cases, water can be reused outside the building (for irrigation) and inside the building (for toilet flushing) with minimal treatment.
Rainwater harvesting (via rain gardens) can also contribute to additional credits, such as Protect or Restore Habitat and Open Space. That’s 5 credits that can be assisted with a single strategy—synergies.
