NC-v4.1 WEp2:Indoor Water Use Reduction

Lacava faucets

Hi folks. New user here. Building a new one family home. Two questions:

1. Was hoping to use a faucet by Lacava. It is rated at 1.0 gpm but does not have watersense labeling. Does that still qualify for LEED credits?

2. How do free-standing tub fillers get rated? The actual tub filler is a 3.5 gpm but the shower head component of it is 1.75gpm. Will that qualify for credits?

Hi Alexander, Welcome!
You'll likely find more appropriate guidance under the pages dedicated to the LEED for Homes questions; just navigate to that version via the filters on the "LEED CREDITS" link at the top of this page. I'm not much familiar with the Homes version, but from what I see at a glance, it does appear your faucet will require a Watersense label. Tub fillers are not usually tracked under the water use, at least not on commercial projects. The showerhead is what will be tracked on its own; that one also must have a Watersense label, though it seems 1.75 or better is what you'd want to aim for, so you're at least on your way.
