NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
I apologize for the simplicity of my question, but I want to make sure I am providing accurate information.
If I have a commercial office building with 2 identical unisex bathrooms with no urinals, accessible to all tenants, I only have 1 fixture family for water closet, 1 fixture family for public lavatory faucet? I want to make sure that I don't need to put each toilet in the list. I know it doesn't change the percentage, but I don't want to incorrectly state the annual water consumption.

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
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?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Hi Rick- Yes, you should group together fixtures that have the same usage rate and water consumption rate. Your percentage water savings and annual water consumption should be the same if they were separated or combined. Make sure you've created and assigned the Fixture Group(s) correctly.
