Inquiry

When calculating flow rates, can the average be rounded? For example, if a dual-flush toilet has an average of 1.136 gallons/flush, does this meet the requirement of 1.1 gallons/flush for WE 3.2?

Ruling

When calculating flow rates for WE 3, the average may be rounded to the hundredths place, but not the tenths place. For the example provided, the average flow rate for the toilet is 1.14, which is higher than the requirement of 1.10 in WE 3.2.
