Approved Ruling: The NZGBC advises that Hydraloop water recycling system should not be entered in the rainwater portion of the Water calculator as it is not a rainwater system. However, we acknowledge that the Hydraloop system can offset water demand by recycling grey water. Therefore, the percentage offset should be calculated based on the total water demand (as below) and the calculation provided to the NZGBC during submission to award points. Also, the project can apply for innovation point for using the system. |
