FAQs about WEp1 :

We provided new showers in our project to comply with the alternative transportation credit. Should they be considered in WEp1 calculations?

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?

Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?

Our project does not have any eligible water fixtures in the project boundary. Can we comply with WEp1?

We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?

Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?

Our project is a factory with historically a 95% male workforce. The restroom design accounts for this. Can I argue that the male/female gender ratio is different than 50/50?

Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?

Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Will the reviewers accept a spreadsheet as a plumbing fixture schedule in lieu of the plans from the Construction Documents?

In LEED review comments I've been referred to the Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance document. I didn't know this was a required reference document.

Should I include bar sinks? What about mop sinks or janitor sinks? Swimming pools? Safety showers? Bidets? Tub spouts?

I'm working in a LEED CS Warehouse:non-refrigerant building, the project is divided in 2 main areas: office and warehouse. The restroom area is accesible for both areas, but within the office we have 3 restrooms, 2 of them only accesible for the office employees and 1 lockable restroom with a single occupancy (the 3 of them with the same fixtures as the rest of the restrooms), should I create a new fixture group for this restrooms? Is there any Reference about hot to choose Public or Private? Furthermore we are using sensor facuets, this force me to choose public faucets when I'm filling the form.

Sounds to me like all your bathrooms are public in that more than one person - employee or visitor - can use that toilet. See other forums for WEc3 or WEp1 for more conversations on private toielts definitions.
