I have a fixture usage group with 4 FTEs and there's a shower in it. Shower daily uses is 0.1, so the template calculates my total daly uses as 0.1 x 4 = 0.4 and it rounds down to 0.

FTE for buildings with multiple shifts

LEED NC 2009 says in p.170 "In buildings with multiple shifts, use the number of FTEs from all shifts". We have a 24hs building, with 4 shifts, some of them overlap.

We recently completed a new building where we used American Standard Cadet FloWise pressure-assisted 1.1 gpf toilets. The problem is that these toilets do not work properly.

Hi all, I was surprised to receive a recent review comment for WEp1 noting that we had left out the janitor sink faucet in our calcs.
