CS-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction
Good morning,
My building is a residential building and was certified as core & shell, credit MR - 4 (Recycled Content) there is a paragraph that says interior construction is not part of the Core & Shell project. So my question is whether in WE Prerequisite 1 (Water Use Reduction), I also dismiss the consumption interior construction?
Thank you!

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?

Joaquim, you can certainly not dismiss that.I am a bit confused, though—your building was already certified, or is in the process of being certified?What is in the scope of the CS work? Are you doing fit-outs, or are the tenants? For a better understanding of how to treat fit-outs, see the CS Appendix in the LEED BD&C Reference Guide.

Tristan,
My building is pre-certified as was CS, I am working to gain certification. My building is residential, so each apartment (unit) will have a different owner!
I include in the calculations for the reduction of water these apartments (units)??
Thanks

There is some detail on this that you need to read about the Reference Guide that I mentioned in my last comment. Do you have that?
