NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
What is the documented proof required to be submitted to USGBC confirming on the Occupancy considered for our project. Will a letter from the client confirming on the FTE, while assumptions on the transients suffice, or do we need to provide furniture layouts showing the seating arrangements? Also, in cases where furniture layouts are unavailable how can this be addressed?
Thankyou

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?

Appendix 1 of the Reference guide says: "Projects that know the tenant occupancy must use the actual numbers, as long as the gross square foot per employee is not greater than that in the default occupancy count table. If code requirements required gross square foot per occupant is less than
those in the table, this is also acceptable." So as long as your occupancy numbers meet these requirements, no other documentation should be needed. As far as transients, include a narrative explaining your assumptions, and you should be ok.
