FAQ F-00038
Current shower benchmarks for hotel developments.

Shower benchmarks for hotel developments in the Potable Water credit have recently undergone internal and external review. The current benchmark for showers is set at 3 star WELS (>7.5L but <=9L/min).  

All other benchmarks in the calculator remain unchanged, as does the methodology for populating the calculator. 

The relevant potable water calculator have been updated to reflect the same for hotel developments

This change will be updated in future versions of the Green Star rating tools.
