PQP-PW Flashcards
What tool is used to determine the baseline and proposed interior building water consumption?
Building Water Calculator
Water demand that relates solely to fixtures, fittings, and appliances.
Interior water use
All measures which reduce the overall demand for water from the baseline requirement.
Efficiency measures
Can recycled water be considered towards achieving PW-R1?
No
Included in exterior water uses
Heat rejection; external hose bibs; Irrigation systems; swimming pools; water features
What differs in the methodology in achieving PW-1 and PW-R1?
Recycled water can be used only to earn credits of PW-1
How can a landscaping water demand be minimized?
Effective plant selection, irrigation strategies and promoting the use of recycled water
Plot area excluding the building footprint and all water feature/ swimming pools, and is made up of all hardscape and softscapes areas.
Landscaped area
A notional value that represents the amount of water that is allowed for exterior uses
Exterior Water Allowance (Ew)
Includes any open surface water associated with fountains, ponds etc excluding swimming pools
Exterior water features
PW-3 is concerned about which two requirements?
Water monitoring and water leakage detection
Facilities required where present for water consumption monitoring.
Bathroom/toilet facilities; kitchen/ catering facilities; swimming pools (indoor); ablution facilities
Areas which can earn credits of PW-4
Stormwater Quantity Control; Quality Control; OPM
What are being demonstrated under quantity control of PW-4?
The storm water management system prioritizes infiltration, sustainable urban drainage systems, and utilizes structural solution when necessary.
It requires that the proposed stormwater management system is capable of collecting and treating 90% (min) stormwater and treatment to minimum standard
PW-4 Quality control
