Per the Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance document (dated December 1, 2009 and updated August 16, 2010), your project would appear to fall under Case 4. As such, you would not have to include the shower in your WEp1 calculations, but you also would not be eligible for any Water Use Reduction points under WE credit 1.

Karen, I have a similar question about commercial buildings: there are showers in the tenant's space that serve a small gym. Can we include the shower flow rates in the calculations? We are also pursuing SSc3.2. Another question: if some of the water faucets are not complying with the LEED requirements, but others overcompensate for these, would our project still meet the WEp1?
