Hi.
The LEED Baseline for public lavatory faucets is 1.9 lpm, which seem very low compare to what is on the marked in Denmark. But is actually do to the 30 sec. duration - so the actual flow rate is 3.8 lpm? And how can the public lavatory and the private lavatory maximum be so different.
Could anyone recommend any manufacturer who can deliver the 1.9 lpm?
BR, Lise
