If the sink is in the janitor's closet and its purpose is to fill buckets for cleaning, then you do not have to include it. (Putting a lower flow rate aerator on that faucet would only extend the amount of time it would take to fill the bucket, because the water's being collected for a certain amount of water and not for serving a purpose, like washing something, in the sink itself.) That said, if it's in there for the janitor to wash their hands after cleaning, then I'd say you should include it. But if the purpose is for filling buckets, then you can exclude it.
