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.

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.
