We are working on a clinic which was both inpatients and outpatients. For the outpatients, we are trying to figure out whether one should consider public or private fixtures, and how many uses we should consider. Some outpatients are only in the clinic for appointments, check ups, clinical studies, etc. Others have short procedures but do nto stay overnight. Others come in via the ER and are then admitted. Some stay for a few hours in recovery until they get sent home. How should we therefore consider the fixtures they use (public / private) and the uses per day? The Water Use Reduction Calculator does not include outpatients as a pre-loaded occupancy type.
Any guidance is appreciated!
