Can the jail portion of a prison facility be excluded from the water efficient toilet requirements of this credit due to the lack of product availability, maintenance requirements and the behavioral nature of the inmate population?
There are now a sufficient number of stainless steel jail type toilets on the market at the 1.28 gpf level or below to make compliance with this prerequisite reasonable. Therefore, the jail portion of a prison facility is not exempt from the credit baseline and design calculations for LEED 2009 projects.
