Inquiry
If a home earns the WaterSense New Home label and meets all of the requirements for Hot Water Delivery Systems (Section 3.5), can EA 7.1 automatically be awarded?
Ruling
The WaterSense New Home requirements for hot water distribution satisfy EA 7.1 for both manifold and conventional systems - parts (b) and (c). Meeting the WaterSense New Home requirements for a structured plumbing system only ensures 1 point for EA 7.1 . For a project with a structured plumbing system to earn both points in EA 7.1, the length of the recirculating loop must also be verified (see part a-ii).
