NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
We are starting a project (food service building) taht will serve to the users of other individual buildings of the same company, all of them are within the propoerty of the company and are not LEED certified.
How do we should calculate the total FTE for the project?
- Only the FTE of our new building or we have to consider every body working at the facilites (because all of them will be users, but working in other buildings).
Hope you can help me.

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 Edgar,
We have a couple of cafe projects that are similar to what you are describing accept they are tenant improvements inside existing buildings so they are CI projects.
We generally show the FTEs that are associated with the scope of work only. But then we include other staff that will use the facilities as retail customers (not transients) and derive the average daily use (and peak for other credits) based on the meals per day served. Hope that helps.
