Water Efficiency Version 3 This section of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) focuses on, of course, water efficiency. According to the USGBC, in the United States, approximately 340 billion gallons of fresh water are withdrawn per day from rivers, streams and reservoirs to support residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and recreational activities. Water efficiency measures in commercial buildings can easily reduce water usage by 30% or more. Utility savings, though dependent on the local water costs, can save thousands of dollars per year, resulting in rapid payback on water conservation infrastructure.
