FAQs about WEp1 :

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?

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

NC-2009 WEp1:Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction

Lavatories in special conditions

Hello everyone! I am currently working on a project for a university campus. This is a three story building, with laboratories for students and researchers. This laboratories have counters with lavatories faucets specifically to wash the eyes only. I was wondering how can we could enter this information on the software for the prerequisite? Also, we are looking for the Water Reduction Credit, so how could we enter this type of faucet in the software to reduce water consumption? Here is a picture of this type of faucet so you can get an idea: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavaojos#/media/File:Augend_1.jpg

Hi, Monica! An eyewash faucet is not applicable to WEp1. The only applicable fixtures are water closets, urinals, lavatories, kitchen sink faucets, and showers. Suerte con su proyecto! Gerren
