FAQs about WEp1 :

Will the reviewers accept a spreadsheet as a plumbing fixture schedule in lieu of the plans from the Construction Documents?

In LEED review comments I've been referred to the Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance document. I didn't know this was a required reference document.

Should I include bar sinks? What about mop sinks or janitor sinks? Swimming pools? Safety showers? Bidets? Tub spouts?

We provided new showers in our project to comply with the alternative transportation credit. Should they be considered in WEp1 calculations?

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?

Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?

Our project does not have any eligible water fixtures in the project boundary. Can we comply with WEp1?

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?

Our project is a factory with historically a 95% male workforce. The restroom design accounts for this. Can I argue that the male/female gender ratio is different than 50/50?

Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?

Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

The upload L-8 has nothing to do with WE. It is a linked upload of building sections or interior elevations for IEQ c 8.1 and 8.2 (daylight and views). Within the prerequisit, there is no such form.

Sorry I have no idea what the upload L-8 stands for. Could it be they (who is "they"?) mean L-6: Tenant Sale and Lease Agreement because some of the fixtures are in tenant scope of work?

Sorry, I have been referring to the LEED online form on WEp1. I guess that the L-8 is a typo. And, L-6 (where does this come from? is this tenant guidelines) seems sort of reasonable for an upload.
