PI8: Ornamental water features must recirculate water

Purpose

When ornamental water features are included in a project they should be designed to be as energy- and water-efficient as possible through recirculation.

Criteria

Install ornamental water feature that recirculates water from the feature itself and serve a beneficial use.

Provide information on type of system, maintenance, and monitoring requirements in project specific owner’s manual.

Confirmation
