⚫ Page 1 2040 Harnish Boulevard, Billings, Montana 59101 406-245-0136 (phone), 406-245-2084 (fax) Memo To: Kylee Keller From: Aaron Sadowski Date: 8/17/2022 Re: 777 Boardwalk – Water Usage Calculation A.C.E. Job #5459 Kylee, Please see the following calculation summaries exhibiting the daily mean and maximum water usage calculations for the proposed building design. These figures are based on assumptions for fixtures to be installed in the building as well as the number of full-time employees and visitors occupying the building each day. A level of diversity is assumed based on LEED figures for fixture usages and durations based on fixture type and occupant type. The proposed building design is estimated to use 372 gallons of water on a model day with a maximum daily water usage of 446.4 gallons/day. Step 1. Step 2. IP units Step 3. No Step 4. Step 5.

Indoor Water Use Reduction Calculator LEED v4 for D+C and O+M - WE Prerequisite/Credit Indoor Water Use Reduction LEED v4 for ND - GIB Prerequisite/Credit Indoor Water Use Reduction and GIB Credit Wastewater Management Note: This selection must match the unit of measurement chosen during project registration. Note: This calculator is for use with Excel for Mac 2011 and Excel 2007 or later. Note: Include in the prerequisite calculations all fixtures within the LEED project boundary. Include in the credit calculations all fixtures and fittings necessary to meet the needs of the occupants; some of these fittings and fixtures may be outside the tenant space (for Commercial Interiors) or project boundary (for New Construction). Upload a separate calculator for the credit as necessary. Note: Projects with extremely complex occupancy and/or fixture usage patterns (such as where different types of occupants have different annual days of operation and use fixtures with differing flush and flow rates within the building) may complete a separate calculator tab to represent the usage for complex scenarios. Complete the Flush and/or Flow tables on the Group tab. Unit of measurement The project is LEED for Neighborhood Development Note: This selection must match the rating system chosen during project registration.
