My project building is very new and operation started from 2008 onwards. All the plumbing fixtures and fittings are high-efficiency ones meeting the IPC baseline standards. However, we had retrofitted certain fixtures & fittings aimed to achieve more percentage savings.
First of all, is it required to document the policy mandating an economic assessment of conversion to high-performance plumbing fixtures and fittings as part of any future indoor plumbing renovation?
In my case, even I have the policy but how can I account disposal cost and maintenance cost savings? Is it really required to satisfy the pre-requisite?
How can I approach this problem? Has anyone else had to deal with this?
I would like to recommend the minimum it would take to get my client to meet this prerequisite, but how can I do that? Thank you for your help.

I am not sure I understand the difficulty you are having. Can you clarify what the problem is that you need help with?

Thanks for your reply. The documentation tool kit has a general policy whereas we are unable to calculate potential water supply and disposal cost savings as well as maintenance cost savings. Please help me with a sample calculation sheet.

This kind of calculation is very project-specific. I'm afraid that I think you need to develop your own calculations for this.
