I think that ultimately the intent of the USGBC is to measure the amount of water your fixture uses relative to a standard fixture. If an IPC-compliant faucet uses 0.5 gallons for a 15-second handwash, the bottom line is how much water your faucet uses for the same wash. If the reality of your building is that you operate the building with low water pressure (intentionally and permanently) and therefore use X gallons of water for that handwash, you should...

AppendixG assumes each floor served by an individual AHU in baseline case. However my system is quite complex: image a vertical section view of the building, then different systems serve various vertical areas. In the proposed design case, I modeled as design; in baseline case I left eQuest autosizing these AHU 's flowrate. Here comes the quesiton: in Table 6.5.3.1.1B, pressure drop adjustment of AHUs need input of heat recovery device...
