Our project is 4 floors: first floor with three commercial tenants and top 3 residential. The occupant numbers for the residential is straight-forward based on LEED default values. The tenants are unknown except we know one will be restaurant and two will be retail. We think the FTE values for these spaces are straight-forward based on the default values listed in the reference guide appendix using occupants/sqft, including transients.
My question is how this needs to be reported. For the water use prerequisite, it should be split as residents for residential spaces and FTE for the commercial spaces, correct?
How does this need to be reported for the whole building energy simulation model for the EAp2, Minimum Energy Performance?
Do both of these forms simply take the data entered in the Project Information form?

Yes, both of those forms pull information from the Project Information form. Though occationally you may want to include a special circumstances narrative to deviate from them, this is rare. Anything highlighted in yellow on the latest versions of the Project Information forms gets auto-populated elsewhere.
