*Two points (or 1 point for Healthcare) will be awarded if the project manages "the runoff from the developed site for the 95th percentile of regional or local rainfall events."
*Two points (or 1 point for Healthcare) will be awarded if the project manages "the runoff from the developed site for the 95th percentile of regional or local rainfall events."
*Three points (or 2 points for Healthcare) will be awarded if the project manages "the runoff from the developed site for the 98th percentile of regional or local rainfall events."

<strong>Pilot Credits: Whole Project Water Use Reduction (up to 10 points)</strong> <br>
'''Pilot Credits: Whole Project Water Use Reduction (up to 10 points)'''
This pilot credit requires whole building  water use modeling to demonstrate reduced water use compared to a baseline model. <br>
This pilot credit requires whole building  water use modeling to demonstrate reduced water use compared to a baseline model.
A sliding scale awards between 1 point for 10% reduction to 10 points for 65% reduction.

Making this kind of water use reduction would typically require reuse of [[greywater]] as well as an optimized RWH plan.
