Yes. The LEED rating system offers up to four points toward certification for managing rainwater on site. Points are awarded based on the percentile of regional or local rainfall events that are managed using green infrastructure. For example, managing rainfall in the 80th percentile is worth one point, while the 95th percentile is worth four points. It is calculated using a comparative analysis of daily rainfall data.
The Developers Green Infrastructure Guide 2.0 breaks down New Jersey’s Stormwater Rule amendments and helps developers and decision-makers understand more clearly green infrastructure options and advantages, compare alternatives, evaluate costs and benefits.
The Developers Green Infrastructure Guide 2.0 is brought to you by the Developers Green Infrastructure Task Force, a partnership between New Jersey Future and the New Jersey Builders Association.
The Task Force gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the William Penn Foundation, which made this project possible.
