Inquiry

Our project wishes to achieve WE credit 1.2 with the use of a temporary landscape irrigation system. Flexible HDPE piping (installed above ground), will be used to connect to the water meter and the code required back-flow prevention valve. All irrigation outlets will be drip type emitters and the system will be removed after the 2-year plant establishment period, wherein it will be relocated at the next building site for the same purpose. Will the use of HDPE pipe comply with the LEED requirements for the temporary irrigation system?
