Sorry, I don't have a reference for this. I think it would be very dependent on the specific school and kitchen. Do you have an existing project you can monitor for a little while to see?

Has there been any further progress on this issue? Just wondering, since on a Addenda (2/2/2011) it says that the Eligible Fixture wording on page 174 was changed to add "The "Kitchen sinks category encompasses all sinks... similar to a sink in a residential kitchen... However professional grade / commercial faucets such as those used in a commercial kitchen would not be included." I am assuming the veggie sink would be excluded, but the typical hand sinks would be included. I still am unclear of daily usage for this item though.

Renee, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking? This credit focuses on only a specific set of water fixtures, which includes the basic kitchen sink, but not a commercial foodservice sink. That is pretty clear. In terms of establishing daily uses, I again would have to say that it depends on a lot on the project and the specifics of the sink. Sorry not to have more info.
