NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
I saw a comment on this site that implied the water used for pot washing sinks and kitchen food prep sinks can be excluded from the calculations, can someone verify that for me? I don't see anything to back that up in the credit form or the LEED Reference Guide. Thanks!

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?

Hi Christine,
Yes, excerpt from a Proven Provider presubmittal call "kitchen hand sinks that are used for food prep, wash down or cleanup (including handwashing due to these activities) should be excluded as process water. If the sink runs through a grease interceptor, it can be excluded as a process water use. If the hand sink is used primarily for hand washing or similar to breakroom kitchen sink, it can included as a kitchen sink regardless of grease interceptor."
