FAQs about WEc3 :

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?

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?

Metered showers and faucets appear to be rather clear based on the available LEED information and the new Water Use Reduction Calculator, but metered urinals appear to be overlooked. Does anyone know whether metered urinals have similar base and project model requirements like faucets? Are we required to model them as we set them at the lowest setting for only 3 seconds to provide 0.9 liters/flush or are we required to follow a LEED rule for metered urinals that is not publicly available?

I am not aware of any published non-standard design case duration allowances for showers or urinals due to an automatic shut off/metering feature.
