My project was upgraded to the new version of LEED online around the beginning of the year so I am getting used to the new set up (so far it is very nice). Question: My plumbing engineer has said in the past his WEp1 form has been linked to the FTE information in PIf3. Is this accurate? I thought the FTE count in PIf3 wasn't specifically "linked" to the WEp1 credit template as the groups could be slightly different. This is a bit complicated as we are pursuing a multiple building certification and are dealing with University dorms with a dining hall so the FTEs are complicated to say the least. Am I correct that there isn't a "link" missing between the PIf3 and the WEp1 template? I really appreciate the help!

your overall numbers in WEp1 should add up to equal the numnbers in PIf3. So if you have 100 dining hall FTE and 300 visitors and 100 residents that should be the same between WEp1 and PIf3 or your reviewers will point out the discrepancy and deny the credit. You can split them up however the fixture groups work out. So you might have 50 dining hall FTE using one set of fixtures and 50 dining hall FTE using another but if you had a split that didn't add up to 100 FTE you'd have a problem. The WEp1 form lists the data you included in PIf3 but then you set your fixture groups on your own manually. That data at the top of Wep1 is autopopulated from PIf3.
