CI-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
Do sinks in Massage & Wash Rooms count in the WEp1 credit for LEED-CI? Currently, there is one massage room and one wash/dry room planned in my project. Both rooms include sinks. How would the use per day be determined if it is required?

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?

Kirstin, the fixtures covered by this credit are those regulated by the EPAct 1992, so that includes lavatory sinks. If the sinks in those rooms are lav sinks, they would be counted.As for uses per day, would the tenant be able to give you an idea of that based on how many sessions take place per day, and how many times the sink is used per session, or some such method?
