 - Incorporate a siphonic design into a building to help acquire LEED™ points: (1) for the use of recycled material (cast iron), (2) by reducing site preparation (less buried pipe), (3) by using a siphonic system in conjunction with rainwater harvesting to reduce water use and improve stormwater management on site, and (4) under the "Innovation and Design" concepts by combining the concepts of several LEED™ categories.
