Schools-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
I'm working on a preschool project, which will have 30 babies between 4 months to 1 year-old; 30 babies between 1 to 2 years-old; 30 babies between 2 - 3 years-old; and 30 babies between 3 to 4 years-old. How should I develop the water calculation for these "students"? Should I include all babies as "students"?

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?
Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

I have not read specific guidance on this, however it would seem that any child (I'm not sure I'd label a 4 year old a baby) who can use the restroom and sink on their own or mostly on their own should be included.Anyone have experience with this case?

I agree with Emily that any child that can use the restroom should be included. Potty-training practices differ in places, so I'll leave the rest up to your interpretation.
