Notes:
• Water fixtures do not include irrigation systems.
• Faucets / Taps installed for hand wash in rest rooms and canteen shall be considered;
whereas, faucets / taps installed for dish washing and other process requirements
need not be considered.
• In existing warehouses/ buildings, flow rates of the water fixtures can be measured
on-site through weighted average approach and reported at a flowing water pressure

• In Tenant-occupied Logistics Park & Warehouses, if the installation of plumbing
fixtures is in the scope of tenant, then the developer can demonstrate compliance for
this mandatory requirement and base credit WC Credit 2 by providing the information

requirement and claim credit points for Water Efficient Plumbing Fixtures even if the
installation and maintenance is in the scope of developer.
• The baseline flows can be demonstrated at a flowing water pressure of 3 bar. Flowing
water pressure of 3 bar does not mean that the water supply in the warehouse/
