NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
I am working on a project that plans to install a shower head with three flow options: 0.5 GPM-1.0 GPM -1.5 GPM. How do we account for multi-flow showerheads on the WEp1 form? This circumstance was not accounted for in the WEp1 Additional Guidance documentation.

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
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?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Unless the fixture can be installed to limit water use and guarantee one of the lower flow rates, I would recommend using the 1.5 GPM (worst case scenario) in the calculations.
