A reduction of 30% in outdoor water use qualifies the project for one point under the Outdoor Water Use Reduction credit, and a 40% reduction in indoor water use qualifies for four points under the Indoor Water Use Reduction credit. LEED awards points for water conservation strategies that significantly reduce the demand for potable water.

I thought outdoor use was more important for credits?

I’m a bit confused about the prerequisites. If they weren't met, does that mean we can't get any points at all?

I practiced a similar question where we had to calculate points for water use reductions, and I feel like option D might be correct here.

I think the project qualifies for both indoor and outdoor credits, but I can't recall if they can be combined for a total.

I remember studying the Water Efficiency Credits, but I'm not sure if both indoor and outdoor reductions count for points.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. The question mentions reductions in both landscape and indoor water use, but I'm not sure how that translates to the credit points. I'll need to re-read the options carefully and try to figure out the right answer.

Alright, I think I've got this. The 30% reduction in landscape water use should qualify for the Outdoor Water Use Reduction credit, and the 40% reduction in indoor water use should qualify for the Indoor Water Use Reduction credit. I'll select the option that reflects that.

Okay, let me see here. The building has 30% reduction in landscape water use and 40% reduction in indoor water use. I'm not sure which credit that qualifies for, so I'll need to analyze the options closely.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. The question is asking about the points earned for water efficiency credits based on the given reductions. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about the specific credit requirements.

D is the way to go. These water savings are making me want to take a long, refreshing shower. Who's with me?

I'm going with B. If the Water Efficiency Prerequisites aren't met, no points are awarded. Gotta play by the rules, folks.
PE

Looks like we were mistaken. B is incorrect, and D is the correct answer for the project's water use reductions.
CH

I see your point. It does make sense that meeting the prerequisites for both indoor and outdoor water use reductions would earn the project points.
EM
Emogene

I agree with D. The reductions in both indoor and outdoor water use meet the requirements for Water Efficiency Credit.
KE
