Hospital water use?

Tommy, The operating room water use should be considered process water and excluded from the calculations. Faucets in the doctor's office could be considered private, normal, or process depending on the use. If it's used in the course of providing medical treatment then probably process. If it's like a typical commercial bathroom then would follow the 0.5 baseline. Private is usually reserved for residential/hospitality or executive suite type bathrooms but maybe there is a case for private in a doctor's office.

It is my understanding that only "kitchen sinks" and "lavatory faucets" should be included under WEc3 in terms of sinks. Lab sinks would be excluded as well as operating room water use as Ben mentioned. I guess I would ask how one should define a "kitchen sink" to determine inclusion in the calculations.
