CS-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction
The LEED Online sample form for water use reduction shows 21% reduction of water use in all fixtures. However, at the end of the form it indicates "N".
What is the reason for that?

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?

Which sample form are you referring to? One you downloaded from LEED Online?

I downloaded the dynamic Core and Shell WEp1 sample form from LEED Online and filled out the form. The result was 21% reduction of water use in all fixtures and "N".

I'm not totally sure those forms are meant to be fully functional. For example, an upload is required to document the credit, but that form will not recognize an upload. The point of the forms is to provide an understanding of how to document the credits, not to actually document them. Make sense?

Thanks Tristan,
I hope it works, when we actually document the credit. Some other sample forms worked fine and showed the points or "Y".

The WEp1 sample form seems to be fully functional after all. You need to type something in the box "Fixture Groups Definition" and the "N" changes to "Y".
