[Equest-users] Hot Water Usage Percent

[Nicholas Caton]

I advise grabbing a copy of your project's reprequisite preliminary
documentation (as occurring) to avoid conflicts in your calculations, then
to leverage the 'Service Water Heating' tables in the Seciton 1.4 tables
spreadsheet to work out the % of hot water consumption per fixture.  This
will account for cold water usage.

I typically leverage the annual ground water temperature (representative
of cold water at delivery), the delivery temperature from the SHW
equipment, and the mixed fixture outlet temperatures weight the % of hot
water delivered for each fixture type consuming hot water.

The spreadsheet will then calculate the "peak" gal/hr (provided the
"annual equivalent hours" determined from your fractional schedule) w0hich
you can easily convert to gal/min for equest input.

It's a relatively easy number crunching exercise.  Hope that helps!

Subject: [Equest-users] Hot Water Usage Percent

Dear All,

We have received the following  from GBCI regarding the energy modeling
review:

"The percent hot water listed in Table 1.4.5 does not appear to be
calculated based on the storage and fixture supply temperature and
adjusted to account for expected cold water only use"

How can we adjust hot water usage percent?

Thanks for all replies,

Sefa Sahin
