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?

Ali, I don't think so. What's to stop the tenant from tossing out the fixtures and putting in their own? At least if the fixtures are installed there is a very clear handoff of an as-built project.

Tristan - 99% of tenants are not going to spend money replacing fixtures that work if they are sitting right there in front of them.

Brian, I don't disagree but I think you need more teeth. I just re-checked the LEED Reference Guide and would recommend you look at CS Appendix 4. Just support the fixtures with a lease agreement.
