NC-2009 WEc3: Water Use Reduction
It seems that having a faucet with a sensor could actually save more water than a faucet with an aerator because the sensor will actually cut the water off. Does anyone have an opinion on this?
Does anyone have experience using both the sensor & aerator in an ultra low flow faucet and have hot water issues?

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?

Ashley, I think an aerator is a given in terms of reducing water use, and adding a sensor is a good additonal step. This is done all the time and works well.
