I am currently engage with a LEED EB O&M project located in the UK. As part of the WEp 1 requirement we are asked to upload authentictaion document with reference to the date and scope of plulmbing fixtures upgrade for all fixtures and fittings installed or replaced after January 1994. The owner of this building has no documnentation for the upgrade of the plumbing fixtures. Would it be acceptable if the commissioning authority or the Maintenacne company which oversees the maintenance of the builiding provides a letter based on the visual inspection of the plumging fixture types and models. Please advise.

Fareed, this sounds like a reasonable approach to me, although I can't say for sure.

Fareed, You don't have to worry to much about proving the date of installation, especially for fixtures installed after 1994, because those fixtures are held to the more stringent baseline.
The main thing is, for any fixture that has flush/flow rates different from UPC/IPC standards, you must provide verification of what the actual flow rate is.
