Is it just me or does the 0.25 gallons per cycle baseline for public metered lavs seem way to high? It's great for the water saving calculation, but it seems to show much water savings that I feel like I am doing something incorrectly. According to the Nov 2011 addenda, they show the following formula for cycles: (flowrate gpm * duration sec)/60. They also say that 12 seconds is a standard design case. If that is case 1.25gpm would be the baseline (1.25gpm *12)/60. Using a 0.5 metered lav seems to almost tripple your savings!?
