SSc6.1 Storm Water Design

Quality Control
–
Credit Intent

–
Limit disruption of natural hydrology by reducing the impervious
cover, increasing on-site infiltration, and managing storm water
runoff.
Potential Technologies & Strategies



Design the project site to maintain natural storm water flows by
promoting infiltration.
Specify vegetated roofs, pervious paving, and other measures
to minimize impervious surfaces.
Reuse storm water volumes generated for non-potable uses
such as landscape irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing and
custodial uses.

SSc6.2 Storm Water Design

Quantity Control
–
Credit Intent

–
Reduce or eliminate water pollution by reducing impervious
cover, increasing on site infiltration, eliminating sources of
contaminants, and removing pollutants from storm water runoff.
Potential Technologies & Strategies


Specify vegetated roofs, pervious paving, and other measures
to minimize impervious surfaces and promote infiltration,
thereby reducing pollutant loadings.
Use sustainable design strategies to design integrated natural
and mechanical treatment systems such as constructed
wetlands, vegetated filters, and open channels to treat storm
water runoff.

WEc2
Innovative Wastewater Technologies

Intent
–

Reduce generation of wastewater and potable water
demand, while increasing the local aquifer recharge.
Technologies & Strategies
–
–
Specify high-efficiency fixtures and dry fixtures such as
composting toilet systems and non-water utilizing urinals to
reduce wastewater volumes.
Consider reusing storm water or grey water for sewage
conveyance or on-site wastewater treatment systems.

WEc3.1 & 3.2 Water Use Reduction

Intent
–

Maximize water efficiency within the buildings to reduce the
burden of municipal water supply and wastewater systems.
Technologies and Strategies
–
–
Use high-efficiency fixtures, dry fixtures such as composting
toilet systems and non water consuming urinals, and
occupant sensors to reduce the potable water demand.
Consider reuse of storm water and gray water for non
potable applications.
