NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
If we are installing low-flow faucets with vandal-proof aerators and sensors such that the water flow stops when a user's hands are not near the faucet, how should we account for that in the LEED template? Shouldn't we see savings from having elected to install the aerators and the sensors?

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 Douglas,
You will find the answer page 4 chapter "Public Metering/Autocontrol Lavatory Faucet – Gallons per Cycle Conversion" of the "Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance" quoted in the above LeedUser "bird's eye view". The link toward this doc in the above mentioned text is wrong. The correct link is http://www.usgbc.org/Docs/Archive/General/Docs6493.pdf
