EBOM-2009 WEp1:Minimum Indoor Plumbing Fixture and Fitting Efficiency

Average Retail Customers for a Bank & Uploading Cut sheets

The project that I am currently working on is a bank that has bathrooms in the lobby for client use and employee bathrooms in the office space behind the lobby. I am trying to figure out the following: 1) As I don’t know the exact number of retail customers I am using the default values out of the EBOM reference guide and have selected the .67 value for small retailer. My question is if I should use the square footage amount of the lobby as that is the only place the customers have access to or should I use the square footage for the whole building? I would also like to know if I was correct in choosing the small retailer value or if the service value would be more appropriate for a bank. 2) Do I only upload the cut sheets for the fixtures that were not compliant with IPC/UPC code, or should I upload all of them regardless?

1) If I had to use that estimate I'd probably equate a bank with service rather than retail, but frankly I would rather try to come up with my own estimate of foot traffic. The number of people entering tthe public space of a bank branch can vary widely and I'd feel more comfortable with a number you chased down than the Ref Guide multipliers. Any chance the bank has records of the # of teller transactions per day? 2) Only fixtures that differ from IPC/UPC - fixtures that are IPC/UPC compliant don't need to be documented. Hope that helps, Dan
