Similar to Diego's comment, we actually have two buildings where we are installing the plumbing infrastructure as part of the Core and Shell scope, but not the acxtual fixtures. Instead, We are mandating in the lease agreement the flow rates of each fixture (similar to lease mandating lighting levels that can not be exceeded on the energy side of things). I just want to make sure that this is acceptable. Our language is very specific, i.e. water closets can not exceed 1.28 gpf, sensor faucets at .35 gpm, urinals not to exceed .125 gpf, etc.

Jay, a lease agreement can and should be used to specify tenant fixture performance.

Hi Tristan,
Does this mean that the fixture flow rates specified in the Tenant Lease agreement will be used for the calculations and will be enough to get the points for WEc3?
What are the implications to the LEED CS Certification if the tenants will not follow the flow rates specified in the Lease Agreement?
Thanks in advance.
