WaterSense-certified fixtures and LEED v4.1 eligible products that cut water consumption without sacrificing performance. Includes savings calculator.
Commercial restrooms account for roughly 35โ40% of a building's total water consumption. Upgrading to WaterSense-certified fixtures in a 100-person office building typically saves 300,000โ500,000 gallons per year โ translating to $3,000โ$8,000 in annual water cost savings depending on local rates.
For LEED v4.1 projects, WaterSense labeling is specifically required for eligible fixture types to earn Indoor Water Use Reduction credits. This kit covers every category where WaterSense-certified products are available.
