Hello,
We are working on water reduction at plant, located in Russia. The fact is, that russian water standards oblige to provide each occupant with enough (fixed) volume of water (it is made for the sanitary purposes). So we can't reduce consumption, or we'll fail to keep local standards. What can we do in such case?
And another thing: each plant occupant must take shower every day. Can we include in baseline calculation that each FTE take shower instead of 0,1FTE?

Lou, you can modify your baseline in this case to show that one shower per FTE per day is standard. You'll want to use an efficient showerhead to reduce consumption compared with that baseline.Does the Russian standard require a certain number of gallons/liters be allocated per occupant per day? That seems difficult to deal with for LEED. Would it be possible to allocate instead a certain number of toilet flushes, showers, sink uses, etc., and substitute effiicient fixtures for baseline inefficient ones?
