Homes-v4 WEc1:Total water use

Are kitchen sinks exempt from the Water Sense label

On one page of the LEED V4 reference guide it says all Lav faucets are to be Water Sense Labeled. On another page it says ALL faucets need to be Water Sense? I seem to recall reading somewhere that they dropeed the requirements for water reduction on kitchen faucets because most of the use is based on fillling up vessels or the sink for washing dishes.

So the question is- Do kitchen faucets need to be Water Sense?

Thank You

The WaterSense program has requiremts and provides labels for residential bathoom showers, toilets, and sinks(lavs), and also commercial toilets and urinals, so I don't believe kitchen sinks are required to have a WaterSense label.
