A project for a new office space has achieved a 30% reduction in water use. 30% of wastewater will be treated on site to tertiary standards. Native plants will be used for landscaping to help reduce landscape irrigation by 30%. How many points will the project earn by achieving these goals?
A: 4
B: 2
C: 8
E: 6

参考答案: E

本题解释:
The only credit that can be earned is Water Efficiency Credit, Water Use Reduction (30% reduction = 6 points).

100% of wastewater treated on site to tertiary standards would have earned Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Selection, Innovative Wastewater Technologies (2 points).

A reduction of 50% for landscaping irrigation would earn Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Selection, Water Efficient Landscaping (2 points).

In this scenario, the project only treats 30% of wastewater and does not achieve those levels.
