A retail store will lease out an entire building. If the baseline water use for the building is 80,000 gallons, how much less water must be used for LEED certification?
A: 8,000 gallons
B: 24,000 gallons
C: 16,000 gallons
D: 28,000 gallons

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Reference: Water Efficiency Prerequisite, Water Use Reduction

The difference between Sustainable Site Credit 1, Option 2, Path 10 Water Use Reduction and WE Credit 1 Water Use Reduction is that the SS credit is for the entire building, and the WE credit is for the tenant space.

The prerequisite requires a 20% reduction in water use.

80,000 gallons X 0.20 = a 16,000 gallon savings
