In the context of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), what distinguishes RA3.1 (Sustainable Sites credit - Preserve Water Resources) and RA3.2 (Water Efficiency credit - Reduce Operational Water Consumption)?
A. RA3.1 focuses on the protection and conservation of natural water sources, while RA3.2 emphasizes on-site strategies to minimize water usage in daily operations.
B. RA3.1 is centered on reducing water consumption within the building, while RA3.2 addresses external factors affecting water resources.
C. RA3.1 and RA3.2 both target operational water consumption but approach it from different perspectives, with RA3.1 emphasizing external water preservation and RA3.2 focusing on internal water efficiency.
D. RA3.1 and RA3.2 are identical in their goals and strategies to conserve and reduce water resources.
