How does the CEE Tier 3A criteria for commercial clothes washers compare to ENERGY STAR certified washers?

Is the WaterSense label really required, even if a non-labeled fixture has a comparable flush or flow rate?

Not all fixture types can get the WaterSense label. Which fixtures do we need to ensure have the WaterSense label for our project?

NC-v4 WEp2:Indoor water use reduction

The new construction project I'm working on will include a cafe space with a commercial prep kitchen. Would the hospitality standards of the Indoor Water Use Reduction pre-req apply to this space, even though the project isn't certifying under Hospitality? 

Thank you.

Hi Crista,No, the Hospitality requirements only officially apply to projects registered for that specific version of LEED. That said, they do provide a better practice for that space type that your project should consider, anyway.
