Schools-2009 WEc3: Water Use Reduction
We are working on an addition which is half science labs, what role do the sinks in the labs play in the water consumption/reduction equation? How are they factored in since they are an intermittent use? Do manufacturers even offer water efficient fixtures in labs yet? We are using all potable water for this particular project.

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?

If you check the credit language, you'll see the list of fixtures that are covered by this credit. The only one I think you MIGHT see in a lab is a lavatory faucet, and that's doubtful. If that's the case, you'd want to do your best to get water efficient fixtures here as a best practice, but you're not required to for this credit.
