FAQs about WEp2 :

How does the CEE Tier 3A criteria for commercial clothes washers compare to ENERGY STAR certified washers?

Is the WaterSense label really required, even if a non-labeled fixture has a comparable flush or flow rate?

Not all fixture types can get the WaterSense label. Which fixtures do we need to ensure have the WaterSense label for our project?

Does anyone know if "commerical" showerheads such as the Whitehall Ligature Resistant Wall Shower (Model WH418-CSH), which has a flowrate of 1.5 gpm, and teh Whitehall Ligature Resistant ADA & CBC Compliant Wall Shower with Hand Held Shower (Model WH418ADA-WHCHS) have to be WaterSense labeled? Are they even eligible to be WaterSense labeled? They are not "typical" commerical showerheads, but rather used in institutions.

Hi Theresa, I believe the short answer will be that you'll need to contact LEED Coach with your project's inquiry, and are likely to get project-specific guidance back that way. You can refer to this similar thread for reference:  https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/anti-ligature-fixtures   If for some reason that link doesn't work, just search for "Anti-Ligature fixtures" in the posts (search box on the left side of the forum page) and you'll be able to find it.

Yes! We have had success on 2 different occasions requesting a WaterSense certification exemption from Coach for anti-lig showers provided that the flow rates still meet the WS performance specs. The first time we pre-empted the question and provided the Coach response in our submission and were awarded the points without comment (on that issue); the 2nd attempt, we submitted without any indication that we were looking for an exemption (thinking it was already a known) but recieved a comment. We responded with the same coach response from the first project and were awarded the points without further comment.
