CI-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
For Hotel project types, has anyone recently classified hotel guests as residents within the WEc1 plumbing template ?
I understand the distinction between treating the guests as an FTE vs. Resident and the reality is a hotel guest will be in their room + 8 hrs per day, possibly up to 10-12 hrs/day.
In addition, the building code classifies our hotel space as Residential use, so i'm thinking we follow suit with our LEED calcs.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

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?

Matt, it is acceptable for hotel guests to be classified as residential occupants in the WEp1 Water Use Reduction template.
