CS-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction
Hi,
I have doubts regarding showers for bicycle racks calculations for WEp1. In theory only certain group of office staff will use them, so should I create a specyfic extra group (in table WEp1-2 - fixture group definition) of FTE`s only for showers (i.e. 5% of all FTEs)? The same problem refer to toilets is shower space.
Does anyone have an idea or experience what will be the best solution?
Best,
R.

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?

No need to create a separate fixture group for the FTE shower use in Table WEp1-2 - Fixture Group Definition. Fixture groups are meant to define different occupant groups (i.e. office, warehouse, retail, etc.) within the building that use a specific subset of flow and flush fixtures. If the project occupants have similar usage patterns, one fixture usage group should be used to represent the entire occupancy. The form will automatically calculate the daily usage rates for the plumbing fixtures entered in the Fixture Group when the group is assigned to each fixture.
