Hi, Due to "Water use reduction Additional Guidance" from July 14,2011 Nonresidential Default Lvatory Faucet duration has changed from 15 to 30 sec. Because of that from our previous calculations water use reduction above 40% we have 39.75%. Do you think that If we have started our certification on December 2010 we can use special circumstances to achieve additional point which we had before july new rules for calculations? We have done quite big invests on fixtures so maybe you can give us a hint how to defend it. Thanks in advance for any comments.

I was just filling out the form too and noticed the same change. Although it now defaults at 30 seconds, the form does allow you to change the number of seconds back to 15 if that helps. I wouldn't consider this alternative compliance and just submit normally.

OK, but the case is that, except metering faucet where we can take data from cutsheet, we have to put default value which "might be modifed for special circumstances". Do you think that requirements change during construction process might be considered as special circumstances?
