Custodial Sinks and Faucets

It's misleading that the janitorial sinks are included in the Fixture drop-down list on the LEED Credit Form. The "unofficial" guidance is that janitorial sinks may be excluded from calculations. The reason is that when you're using a slop sink, you're not necessarily concerned with a flow rate because it's not being run for a certain period of time repeatedly throughout the day, it's being used for a specific purpose like filling up a mop bucket. USGBC gives you the option to include those sinks, but you would have to use some creative accounting to figure out the appropriate way to include the usage in the calculations. Bottom line, I've worked on plenty of v2009 projects that excluded janitorial sinks and never had any problems.

Jason, would that be true for commercial kitchen sinks for food preparation as well? I know that LEEDuser as some guidance above on kitchen sinks but wondering if they can be omitted?
