Paul - I think you have most of these right although there are a few of your bullets that weren't entirely clear to me. I think the critical point is that all of the choices you've made (for example, ensuring that the template reflects that female occupants do not use urinals, and that your days of operation are accurate based on actual building occupancy patterns) are as building-specific and accurate as possible. If tenants one one floor only use the fixtures on that floor, your WEp1 analysis should reflect that. If one floor is 75% male/25% female, again, the analysis should reflect that reality. Also, to your last note - If your building is entirely compliant with IPC standards, you are likely to see a 0% reduction relative to IPC standards for each calculation, but a ~20% reduction from the EBOM baseline, which is, in your case, IPC + 20%. So that actually just might make sense! Hope that's helpful.
