15. OTHER CREDITS IMPACT ON WATER
MANAGEMENT:
MAN-4: Green Cleaning Performance
MAN-6: Ongoing Monitoring and Metering
To recognize operational practices which facilitate effective ongoing monitoring and metering of water and energy consumption.
MAN-7: Learning Resources
To encourage and recognise initiatives undertaken to facilitate sustainability awareness and education amongst building occupants and visitors.
LAND USE & ECOLOGY:
ECO-1: Grounds-Keeping Practices
To encourage environmentally sensitive maintenance and landscaping management practices for landscapes, hard surfaces and building exterior that reduce the environmental impact and improve ecological value and services.
EMISSIONS:
EMI-3: Storm Water
Ensure that on average for the 12 Month Performance Period, the building has had an occupancy of more than 70% (less than 30% vacancy).
Only whole buildings can be certified, not single tenancies within a building.

16. ENERGY WATER PERFORMANCE TOOL
WAT-1: Potable Water
AIM OF CREDIT: To recognise efficient potable water use associated with building operations thus reducing the burden on potable water supply and wastewater systems.
A total of 12 points may be awarded for percentage improvements in water efficiency compared to benchmarks or historical performance.
In addition to points achieved above, where the full 12 points are not achieved:
A further 1 point is awarded where there is proven water saving during 6 consecutive months of the performance period compared to same period in the previous year.
A further 1 point is awarded where this water saving exceeds 10%.

17. PROJECTS & PORTFOLIOS HAVE IMPLIMENTED SAVINGS
General – hotline for Portfolios for water leak hotline etc.
Window cleaning cancelled until further notice (or using greywater where possible)
Common area ablutions & kitchens
replace washers on faulty taps
flow reduction & tap aerators
exclude flushing when cleaning as uses up to 8l
waterless urinals (fraught with challenges = crystalizes in pipes = blockages = more water to flush plumbing line clear. Odour issues. Hygiene challenges)
elimination of larger dual flush of toilets
reduce tap flow rate – Pressure Management

18. PROJECTS & PORTFOLIOS HAVE IMPLIMENTED SAVINGS
Air-conditioning
Chiller plant to be disconnected on ‘Waterless Wednesday’ & only fresh supply fans functional
Investigate chilled water plant systems to air-plant systems
Harvest waste water from chiller to be used in ablutions
Fire sprinklers
Increase intervals between mains testing
Irrigation
Systems are disconnected unless reclaimed ground water

19. PROJECTS & PORTFOLIOS HAVE IMPLIMENTED SAVINGS
Tenanted areas
Encouraged to install water efficient equipment especially with canteens.
Training for tenants and learning resources/correspondence.
Alternative water sources
Water storage tanks: rainwater harvesting from rooftops/gutters to use in ablutions. (building-type specific)
Boreholes/well points: Dependent on quality, ablutions or gardens.
Pressure Regulating Value audits
Water Use audits

20. PROJECTS & PORTFOLIOS HAVE IMPLIMENTED SAVINGS
Water Smart Metering
Growthpoint

21. PROJECTS & PORTFOLIOS HAVE IMPLIMENTED SAVINGS
Leak detection
Company to review intake from council & consequential loss at properties. These usage audit and then problems rectified.
GreenCape: SA loses 37% of its water supply though leaks.

22. DESIGN & AS-BUILT INTERIOR EXISTING BUILDINGS

This equates to 101

Households
*Savings are calculated as the difference in consumption for similar months.
Eg: for June 2017.
