"Replace the entire Occupancy paragraph with the following:
“Identify the number of building occupants by occupancy type using actual occupant counts or historical data or projections. Use occupancy numbers that are a representative daily average over the course of the year. If the occupancy is not known and historical data or projections are unavailable, use LEED-CS Appendix 1: Default Occupancy Counts in the LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction to calculate the default occupancy. For project types that are not listed in LEED-CS Appendix 1, use code occupancy. Use a balanced 1:1 male to female gender ratio. Use whole occupant values (round female values up and male values down to adjust for half values when there is an odd number of occupants).

Calculate the number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) building occupants based on a standard 8-hour occupancy period for full-time and part-time staff. An 8-hour occupant has an FTE value of 1.0, and part-time occupants have an FTE value based on their hours per day divided by 8. In retail projects with multiple shifts, use the daily average number of FTE from all shifts.

Estimate the daily average number of retail customers who enter the project building or space. Retail customers should be reported as daily average totals. Include only retail customers who enter the project building or space. Drive through customers or customers who only visit the project exterior and do not enter the retail project building should be excluded from the water use calculations.

Refer to the Calculating Occupancy section within WEp1 in the LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction, 2009 edition or Green Interior Design and Construction, 2009 edition. for further details.”"
