FAQs about 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?

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?

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

Occupancy in WEp1 inconsistent with PIf3 form

Hello everyone!

I have the problem that the occupancy of PIf3 is inconsistent with the occupancies used in the WEp1 calculator. 

This is because in the PIf3 form I have an FTE of 244 for General Office and an FTE of 18 for Restaurant. 

On the other hand, in the WEp1 calculator, I can´t separate these two Usage Types in the place I have to complete the number of FTE.  Should I just add 244 + 18 ? Or is there a way I can separate the two Usage Types in this calculator? 

Thanks a lot for the help!

Hi Ines,  Are the same fixtures installed in both restaurant and office? If they are, go ahead and add all the FTE together. If they are different fixtures, add a new group (using the button on the first tab) to list the restaurant staff/customers separately.
