Reference Guide indicates WaterSense label requirements are mandatory in U.S. Right now the program for the WaterSense label on toilet flushometers is still in draft stage. http://www.epa.gov/watersense/partners/fvtoilets_draft.html http://www.epa.gov/watersense/docs/FVtoilets_coverletter508.pdf It appears that currently no commercial toilets & flush valves have WaterSense. Does anyone know how this is handle on LEED4?

Hi Rick, it looks like labeled toilets can be found here: www.epa.gov/watersense/product_search.html?Category=2 See www.epa.gov/watersense/products/toilets.html for more info on WaterSense toilets.

Hi Trista, Thank you for reply. But those WS labeled toilets are tank type. My project needs flush valve type commercial toilet. Thank you!

I see! I think in this case you're exempt, because the credit language states that you must use WaterSense fixtures IF that fixture type is eligible for labeling. Since commercial toilets with flush valves are not currently eligible and there are no labeled models on the market, you don't have to worry about this requirement (for now).
