The project team for a small office is calculating the daily baseline indoor water use. There
will be two men and one woman in the office. What is the daily baseline water usage?
A: 9.6 gallons
B: 16.95 gallons
C: 13.125 gallons
D: 12 gallons

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:
Baseline water usage is calculated as part of WE Prerequisite1. The problem also discusses
retail customers - use Table 1.
See Table 2 pg 171
1 FTE Woman X 1.6 gallons (water closet conventional flush rate) X 3 uses per day = 4.8
gallons/day
2 FTE Men X 1.6 gallons (water closet conventional flush rate) X 1 use per day = 3.2 gallons/day
2 FTE Men X 1.0 gallon (urinal conventional flush rate) X 2 uses per day = 4 gallons/day
Sink Flow Rates
3 FTEs
[(3 FTEs X 3 uses/day X 15 seconds)/ 60 seconds per minute] X 0.5 gallons per minute = 1.125
gallons/day
4.8 + 3.2 + 4 + 1.125 = gallons
