How does the CEE Tier 3A criteria for commercial clothes washers compare to ENERGY STAR certified washers?

Is the WaterSense label really required, even if a non-labeled fixture has a comparable flush or flow rate?

Not all fixture types can get the WaterSense label. Which fixtures do we need to ensure have the WaterSense label for our project?

NC-v4 WEp2:Indoor water use reduction

Use of bidets

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?

Regards

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.
