Gender neutral restrooms

A project is being worked on that includes gender-neutral bathrooms, which have toilets with the same flow rate (this applies to all bathrooms in the building). The question is: how should this situation be categorized if, in the fixture information section, there are only two categories for toilets (toilet male and female)?

Is it possible to have two separate sections, one for male toilets and one for female toilets, and have the sum of their occupancy percentages total 100%?

If the fixtures are the same, then you would just list them twice, one for male and one for female, and assign 50% to each. There are usually very specific, atypical reasons that those two line items would vary in a project. Yours sounds pretty straightforward. While we're here, are you aware of the Pilot Credit available for projects that have all gender restrooms? You can find it in the Pilot Credit catalog.

Can I just add a common mistake in the calculator. It is not 50 % of all occupants that use male and female bathrooms, it is 100 % of males and 100 % of females use the restrooms. So, enter 100 % in both, not 50 %, otherwise your calculation will not work. (And 0 % in urinals in most of my cases as well).
