Hello,
We have a residential building project, in which bidets will be used in the toilets. But inside the calculator of the Indoor Water Use Reduction I do not check the option to add it in the calculations of consumption.
Then, how could I consider the consumption related to the bidets installed?

Hi Jorge,
For whatever reason, bidets have always been considered as process water for the purposes of this credit.
They therefore should not be included in the calculations.

Bidets are not required to be included in the calculations for Water Use Reduction. I don't have the specific reference in front of me right now, but it may be in the Supplemental Guidance for the water use calculations.

Perfect. Thank you very much for the clarification.
