NC-2009 WEc2:Innovative Wastewater Technologies

0.8 gpf water closets, no urinals

We have a project that is considering a 0.8 gpf water closet. The project is an existing building renovation and we do not have ADA clearance space for the addition of urinals. Since the baseline for WC's is 1.6 gpf, does this strategy qualify for WEc2? Completing the template for WEp1 with WC's only registers 2pts for WEc2, but I feel without urinals, we are consuming more water for male uses than the USGBC might be expecting. Does our baseline only consider the type of fixtures we have installed? Thanks!

The reality is that the credit savings are based on fixture usage, not usage per a group of people, so I think your savings here are valid.
