<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">For standard office building 1 gal/person/day is about right for actual consumption. For DHW design of office buildings ASHRAE provides the chart below, which shows a recovery rate of 0.1 to 0.35 gal/person/hour. The difference depends on how much storage tank capacity you plan on having. Note that these values would be for peak loading and thus 1 gal/person/hour would result in far too much consumption than normal.</SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi eQUEST Folks,</DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I used schematic design wizard for sizing DHW heater and found the default value of hot water use is 1 gal/person/day in the office building. After I changed the operation hour of main schedule for occupancy. The input rating kept the same. It seems to me that the unit of hot water use should be 1 gal/person/hour. Can anyone point out if my understanding is wrong?</DIV></DIV>
