FAQs about WEp1:
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?

Even though they are not residents, I wonder because Hotel Passengers would use more times the WC than a transient and also the total amount of passengers would use the showers at least once a day! Does anyone know how would this apply in calculations?

Catalina, hotel guests should be calculated with the same approach as residents. You will also want to make sure to include the other applicable fixture groups such as hotel employees (FTE) and transients or visitors that visit the hotel for guest events and conferences.
thanks,

we are working on a hotel project where the residents will also use the water fixtures in common areas like restaurants. in that case what is the applicable baseline? it's true that fixtures in common areas should be taken as public but in the LEED online form when you select the fixture family as public it only takes the FTE in to account not the residents. should we manually change it leave it as it is?
