Domestic hot water (DHW) design is critical to optimize energy efficiency, while reducing water waste. On Thursday, September 21, at noon CDT, guest host Christoph Lohr, PE, will detail the policies, standards, and credentials that can help designers and installers navigate the waters.
He will discuss these 10 critical issues related to DHW design:
- Definition: Recirculating vs. Circulating
- Automatic Balancing Valves vs. Manual Balancing Valves
- ASSE/IAPMO IGC Standard 368 for thermostatic balancing valves and IAPMO/ASSE/ANSI 1115-202x for Automatic Balancing Valves
- Digital Master Mixing Valve Standard IGC 384 (IAPMO/ASSE/ANSI 1118-202x)
- Right Sizing Hot Water Supply Systems (Water Demand Calculator)
- Right Sizing Hot Water Return Systems (Hardy Cross Methodology)
- ASSE 12000 Series Credential
- Testing and Balancing/Commissioning of hot water systems
- ASPE 99 Thermal Disinfection Standard Development
- Hot Water Return Pump: UPC Code Update
