Should prison fixtures be included or excluded from WEp1 and WEc3 (WEc1 in CI) Water Use Reduction calculations?
Beginning with projects registered after 7/1/2012, prison water closets (toilets), urinals and safety showerheads must be included in water use reduction calculations for fixtures and fittings. This LI overturns the older LI 5033 (applicable to projects registered before 11/1/2011) and expands on the language of LI 10120 (applicable to projects registered between 11/1/2011 and 7/1/2012). Fixture use assumptions for prisoners follow the default fixture assumptions for residential occupants. Accordingly, lavatory faucets, toilets, and showerheads serving prisoners must follow the residential fixture requirements, baselines, and daily usage assumptions for the purposes of this prerequisite/credit. Internationally applicable.***Update 1/1/13: This LI is applicable to LEED NC v2.2
