Hi,
Does anyone know if emergency showers and eyewashers count towards prerequisite and credit calculations. I have a project in Mexico City that is a warehouse that requires this type of fixtures derived from the activities being carried out in the project. However, it is not clear if I have to include these fixtures. Since these fixtures are used for emergency they have a flow rate pretty high and it affects the target of water savings. Also, there is no way to accurately estimate the uses per day since its use is only for emergency.
Any comments on this subject?
Thanks.

Hi Bernardo, those fixtures are not included. If they're marked on your plumbing plan in a way that's not clear they are emergency fixtures, you can just add a note indicating that they are.
