CS-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction
If our project has a water reduction of 30% but is not installing any urinals or kitchen taps, what clauses should be included for the tenant? Should the tenant be obliged to install fixtures and fittings that, whenever calculated together with the fixtures we have installed, retain that 30% reduction?

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
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?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Hello all,
Can anyone help out with this? We are very confused as to what condition should be set for the tenants.
Many thanks for your help!

When fixtures are not selected before DP submission, I usually ask mechanical engineers to require specs to achieve with 30% reduction. I am not sure completely, but I believe that you need to specify GPM/GPF of urinals and kitchen taps. If urinals or kitchen taps are not included in WEp1 calculation, reviewers will certainly will ask you to clarify it.
