Project Information form #3 version 06 requires the project team to list the 'total project users as a daily average'.

Does anyone know which credit this links to?

I've looked through each credit and cannot seem to find where/why we would need this number.

thank you!

You need the daily average for the water usage calculation. Occupancy information is also needed to calculated the required number of showers and bike racks for SSc4.2.

Hello Erin, Thank you for your response. I am not entirely sure daily average is needed for the WEp1 calculator. The calculator requires FTE, transients, customers, students, residential and the annual days of operation. It does not require the 'total project users as a daily average' to be input. Likewise, I seem to be interpreting SSc4.2 differently. This requires the 'peak moment' of building users to calculate the number of bike racks needed and FTE to determine the number of showers/changing rooms needed. Neither of these numbers are necessarily the 'total project users as a daily average'. In some instances the total project users as a daily average may equal the number(s) required for WEp1 and/or SSc4.2. However in many projects, especially projects with complex occupancy, this may not be the case. Thanks again, Dave
