Reference: LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations Rating System

WaterSense
WaterSense helps consumers identify water-efficient products and programs that meet WaterSense water efficiency and performance criteria.

The 1992 standard is used for LEED.

EPAct 1992 is used to determine the baseline for commercial fixtures, fittings, and appliances.

Commercial toilets: 1.6 gpf
Commercial urinals: 1.0 gpf
Commercial faucets: 2.2 gpm
Etc.

Uniform Plumbing Code defines water conserving fixtures and fittings for water closets, urinals, and metered faucets.

International Plumbing Code defines maximum flow rates and consumption for plumbing fixtures and fittings.

WaterSense labeled products exceed these standards.
