Water fittings – Categories present - KBCN1455

• Where only 6 water fittings categories are present in a home, 5 of the 6 must meet the optional fittings standard for 5 credits.
• Where only 5 water fittings categories are present in a home, 4 of the 5 must meet the optional fittings standard for 5 credits.
• Where only 4 water fittings categories are present in a home, 3 of the 4 must meet the optional fittings standard for 5 credits.
• Where Criterion 1 says 'All water fitting categories...' for 8 and 11 credits, this means 'all water fitting categories present'.

Note that the modelled water consumption benchmark in Criterion 1 must also be met to award credits.
