For the water reduction credit, since this is for the building, do we use the building population instead of the project FTE? We are only occupying 4 floors out of 18. The form is pre-filled with the FTE from the PIF with our project FTE. Do I delete that figure and use the (much larger) building population? The total building population would be the design estimate since the building is not yet fully tenanted.

Does your building have a commercial kitchen? If so, there are plenty of water-using appliances there, both regulated and process that could make a difference for you.

No, no kitchen, at least not in my scope. The fixtures are standard restrooms and, except for my 25% of the building, are outside my control. The issue isn't the fixtures, it is the FTE reporting. Do I use the population of my project or the population for the whole building?

In the SS c1 from you will enter the total building FTE. You can use the designed number, if you don't have the building completely occupied yet.
I'm guessing your forms might still be the old once, because of the issue with building vs. project FTE. You might have to play around with the PI, SSc1 and WE p1 form to figure out how you can do that. Or update the forms (send a feedback request LEED Online , upper right corner)
So definitely SS c1 and WE p1 are two different numbers. I hope that helps.
