Hi, My project is interior retail, and they don't install any sanitaryware fixtures in tenant scope. In IP credit, option 1, LEED asked to assess the water fixtures according to WE pre Indoor Water Use Reduction. But this WE pre only cares about the fixtures in tenant scope. So if my project doesn't have water fixtures, for IP credit, item "Fixture and fitting water demand", can we state the project already complied with WE pre? and therefore can automatically get 1 point accordingly?

No. You generally do not get a point awarded for doing nothing.

Marcus is correct. Some additional insight:
I have seen a project or two add 1-2 low-flow fixtures (like a cafe sink) within their own space to enable them to meet the Prereq as well as pursue points in addition with the base building's fixtures (when the fixtures were favorable). This could be seen as gaming the LEED system by some (depending on project circumstances), but the project is playing the points game rules that LEED set up.
