Stage 10

Domestic hot water

Capture the building use, demand assumptions, storage and system efficiency inputs for domestic hot water.

What you will learn

  • Use the building-use selector to preload reference values.
  • Keep automatic and project-specific values distinguishable.
  • Review storage and system inputs together.

Prepare before you start

  • Occupancy or building-use information
  • Proposed hot-water system data
  • Storage, efficiency and renewable contribution information

Step by step

Complete this stage

1

Choose the building use

Select the closest supported use so the app can populate its reference demand fields.

2

Review automatic values

Confirm that the displayed demand and storage values are appropriate for the selected use.

3

Enter system details

Capture the proposed plant, efficiency and contribution information from the design.

4

Recheck after changes

Changing the building use can update dependent values, so review the whole section before saving.

Quality check

  • The selected use reflects the actual occupancy.
  • Automatic values have been reviewed rather than accepted blindly.
  • System data comes from the current mechanical or plumbing design.

Use this guide with the current project documents, official standards available to your team and the review required for your professional role.
