NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
In one of our projects " a Hotel " the client is keen to use water-saving fixtures but not Shower-heads, can we exceed the baseline in this fixture but balance it with others to achieve the 20%?
In other words, does LEED looks at the overall budget only or at the compliance of each component ?
Thanks!

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?

Hi Ahmed,
Yes, the shower fixture can exceed the baseline, as long as your overall performance of all applicable fixtures demonstrates a 20% reduction.
