NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
For a hotel, should the default uses of kitchen and maintenance sinks be FTE (1*15sec) or considered residential(4*60sec)?
Unfortunately I don't know what the real usage is so I have to defer to default values.
Thank you.

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?

Yes, it is reasonable to assume that hotel room kitchen sinks will be used once a day, with a 15 second duration. Janitor/maintenance sinks are not covered by EPAct and thus do not need to be included in your calculations.
