The specifications and drawings call for flow control devices for showers to prevent flow over 2.0 gallons/minute and for public lavatories to prevent flow over 0.5 gallons/minute. Also specified are infrared sensors for lavatories. The rest of the fixtures do not meet the 20°Io reduction requirement. To obtain this credit it must be shown that the total water consumption will be 20°Io less than it would be using fixtures that meet the requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. A consumption calculation based on demand calculation used to determine the fixture counts and piping sizes would provide this information. Credit 4: Water-Efficient Landscape Use only plants that are tolerant of climate, soils, and natural water availability, and that do not receive watering from municipal potable water after a period of establishment is complete. The plants listed on Sheet L1.0 are native to this climate, however, they may need to be watered after they are established. This credit can be obtained if plants are selected that will not need watering after they are established. If this is not possible, a variance to achieve this credit may be obtained if the following can be documented: Container plantings were selected over other types of landscaping to minimize the use of water and avoid the installation of an irrigation system. The types of plants selected for the containers are well adapted to the site, tolerant of climate, soils, and need minimum watering from municipal potable water after establishment. Plants were selected to help as windbreaks or decrease noise. A seasonal maintenance schedule has been planned to address specific times for pruning, watering, pest inspection, etc. In addition, mulching and composting will be used to maintain plant health. Plants that have similar water needs have been grouped together for ease of care
