I am working on a high-end hotel that has a spa installed. Is the spa considered in the water use reduction calculations or is it considered process as water? Thank-you

Unless USGBC has a different interpretation with regards to wash fountains , we may not be able to get points on water conservation because the wash fountains (Bldg 3) uses 3 gpm.
