The Water Efficiency (WE) category is about using less water throughout the interior and exterior building. A requirement for this category is to use 20% less water than a building similar to its size and full time employee calculations.<\/p>\n

In the Arthur Weisberg Family Applied Engineering Complex (AEC)<\/a>,\u00a0Marshall University wanted to use fixtures (toilets, urinal, bathroom sinks, showers, and kitchen sinks) that saved water, and include native plants (plants from this area) in the landscaping design.\u00a0 Native plants will typically use less water, so irrigation is not required for plant survival.\u00a0 The AEC has one restroom that uses stormwater for toilet flushing, so domestic water is not required.\u00a0 A total of 10 points are possible for this category. Marshall University attempted eight (8) and two (2) points were not attempted\/eligible.<\/p>\n
