I have two questions about the LEED Online WEp1 form:
1. Table 3a on page 87 of the Reference Guide (updated 4/2010) shows a default lavatory faucet duration of 15 seconds, but Table WEp1-4 on the LEED Online form gives a default duration of 30 seconds. Can someone please confirm that the correct duration to use for non-metered lavs. is 30 seconds?
2. The LEED Online form gives the option (at the very top) to select "All relevant fixtures and fittings installed or replaced after January 1, 1994". If I select that, what happens? The Performance Calculation template does not appear, so where would I perform the calculations to earn WEc2 points (since typically the calc's are done on the WEp1 form and linked to WEc2)?
I appreciate your help.

1. The Addendum change the default duration to 30 seconds. I've been through the question on a previous CI project and found the answer. That said, I submitted with 15 seconds and the review team accepted.
2. You have to choose the Performance Calculation to get points in WEc2. The other two options are sufficient to meet the prerequisite but not to get points.

Michael,
Thank you for your timely and thorough response. I apologize for not first checking the LEED Interpretations/Addenda database.

It's never easy to get the full answer, with the regular addenda and a constant stream of CIR. One of the benefits of LeedUser is being able to ask questions like this. I do it all the time.
