[All LEED AP ND Questions]

Which strategy contributes to earning points for the Green Infrastructure and Buildings Credit, Indoor Water Use Reduction?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The Green Infrastructure and Buildings Credit for Indoor Water Use Reduction rewards projects that implement water-saving technologies and fixtures, such as dual-flush toilets. Dual-flush toilets allow users to choose between a full flush or a reduced flush, which significantly reduces water consumption for toilet use. This strategy directly contributes to earning points under this credit by lowering the total indoor water usage in the project.


LEED v4 Neighborhood Development Guide: This guide outlines the requirements for achieving points in Indoor Water Use Reduction, including the use of dual-flush toilets and other water-efficient fixtures (USGBC, LEED v4 Neighborhood Development Current Version).

LEED Reference Guide for Neighborhood Development: Provides detailed information on water-saving strategies that qualify for the Indoor Water Use Reduction credit (USGBC, LEED Reference Guide for Neighborhood Development).

I’m leaning towards the dual-flush toilet as a strong candidate, but I wonder if water submeters might also contribute to the credit.

I feel like non-potable water for cooling towers was mentioned in a practice question, but I can't recall if it counts for indoor water use specifically.

I think I remember that dual-flush toilets help reduce indoor water use, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best option for this credit.

Native vegetation sounds like it would be more related to outdoor credits, so I’m not sure it fits here. I think I’ll go with the dual-flush toilet.
