FAQs about WEp1 :

Will the reviewers accept a spreadsheet as a plumbing fixture schedule in lieu of the plans from the Construction Documents?

In LEED review comments I've been referred to the Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance document. I didn't know this was a required reference document.

Should I include bar sinks? What about mop sinks or janitor sinks? Swimming pools? Safety showers? Bidets? Tub spouts?

We provided new showers in our project to comply with the alternative transportation credit. Should they be considered in WEp1 calculations?

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?

Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?

Our project does not have any eligible water fixtures in the project boundary. Can we comply with WEp1?

We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?

Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?

Our project is a factory with historically a 95% male workforce. The restroom design accounts for this. Can I argue that the male/female gender ratio is different than 50/50?

Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?

Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

CS-2009 WEp1:Water Use Reduction

WC's

Hi all! I am working on a residential building with a large leisure area. One of this leisure area is the assembly room that has two WC's: men's room and ladies room. In the form, Should I consider one bathroom at 50% male and 50% female with all capacity of the assembly room? Or, Should I consider two bathrooms, one at 100% male and the other at 100% female both with half of the capacity of the assembly room? Thank you!

the credit form doesn't require information regarding how many bathrooms there are. I would suggest including assembly room users as visitors, and specify 50%/50% ratio under the credit form table WEp1-2, and list applicable fixtures

I would consider (I have not feedback about this) two bathrooms, one with 100% male and another with 100% female, it seems easier to understand and more coherent , the WEp1 form allow it and it doesn´t modify the calculation, regarding the 50%/50% ratio, isn´t it ? (be careful with urinals ) See the WEp1 Additional Guidance 07-06-2012 v8 - corrected LIs and reference guide.
