CS-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction
Every toilet stall in the project includes a handheld bidet faucet (or spray) and a lavatory. Are these calculated as lavatory faucets or ignored in the water use calculation?

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?

The lavatory is a regulated fixture and would be counted but a bidet is not counted.

Thanks again Tristan,
The rules for WEp1 are demanding, but M&V does not cover the water usage and the real usage could be quite different.
