Ours is a campus project where FTEs from a number of buildings have access to showers and lockers in a separate "clubhouse" building. The clubhouse has a much lower staff number than the other buildings. How do we account for the "visitors" use of the showers? Are they transients? Part-time occupants - just for the 20 minutes they are in the locker rooms? (I posted this question on the EBOM page as well.)

Hi Deborah, Since students/visitors are not anticipated to utilize the shower the Form is set up to automatically not include any daily uses from this occupancy type. However, based on the project scope (campus clubhouse where showers and lockers will be used by students) it seems reasonable to include some student shower use. In the WEp1 Form calculator I would create an additional fixture group just for the student shower use (however you will likely need to list these students in the FTE column in order for the Form to calculate this fixture group). I would provide a narrative explaining your methodology and rationale for including the student shower use.
