FAQs about WEp1 :

We provided new showers in our project to comply with the alternative transportation credit. Should they be considered in WEp1 calculations?

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?

Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?

Our project does not have any eligible water fixtures in the project boundary. Can we comply with WEp1?

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?

Our project is a factory with historically a 95% male workforce. The restroom design accounts for this. Can I argue that the male/female gender ratio is different than 50/50?

Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?

Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Will the reviewers accept a spreadsheet as a plumbing fixture schedule in lieu of the plans from the Construction Documents?

In LEED review comments I've been referred to the Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance document. I didn't know this was a required reference document.

Should I include bar sinks? What about mop sinks or janitor sinks? Swimming pools? Safety showers? Bidets? Tub spouts?

CS-2009 WEp1:Water Use Reduction

Core-And Shell within BD&C Project

I am working on a BD&C with a small (14%) area that is being developed as core-and-shell. We are turning the project in as a BD&C project, but I'm stuck on how we must document plumbing in the core-and-shell portion. The developer is planning to provide toilet, handwashing and shower fixtures. But how must this fact be documented in order to satisfy the LEED reviewer? Right now the floor plan for that floor is blank, and the developer has the hives when I talk about committing to tenant specifications. The Developer is responsible for finishing the space to suit any potential tenant, and will no doubt follow through with the correct fixtures. Can I just include the plumbing fixture schedule and make a statement that these are the fixtures that will be used in the buildout of the space?

Lawrence, I'll make the same point here I just made to Joann. If you are not familiar with CS Appendix 4 in the LEED Reference Guide you should read it. I think that will answer your question, straight from the horse's mouth.
