      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.osha.gov/dts/osta/otm/legionnaires/hotwater.html#alternative">http://www.osha.gov/dts/osta/otm/legionnaires/hotwater.html#alternative</a>
      <br>
      The main problem is the cooler areas of the tanks, and electric
      tanks due to the layout of the heating elements present the
      largest hazard.  Fired equipment because the heating is from the
      bottom will disinfect themselves if set at 140F but that still
      leaves the lines which operate at lower temperatures due to
      scalding dangers.  Proper chlorination is effective if you have
      residual chlorine through out the system.  This is why cooling
      towers are such a problem, with all the crud in the air the
      residual chlorine is neutralized very quickly and is just coming
      from the make-up water.  This is why they need their own stand
      alone systems to control Legionella.  A contaminated cooling tower
      can spread Legionella in a radius of 5 miles around the tower. 
      Shower heads are another danger area, not just from Legionella and
      should be disinfected regularly. 
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.nhs.uk/news/2009/09September/Pages/Showerheadsandlungdisease.aspx">http://www.nhs.uk/news/2009/09September/Pages/Showerheadsandlungdisease.aspx</a><br>
      Legionella has been on the radar since 1976 and studies,
      recommendations and good hygiene have reduced the outbreaks.  The
      bacteria is everywhere in low levels.  HVAC systems and domestic
      hot water systems offer many potential sites to breed super
      colonies.  It is not a new or super bug.  By poor practices we are
      concentrating it.  Their favourite temperature is 90 to 95F.  When
      there is an outbreak, on average 12% of the infected people will
      die.<br>
      Note that OSHA recommends hot water circulation pumps be run
      continuously and not be included in energy conservation measures.<br>

                      gallons by annual full-load hours (and converting

                        <p class="MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
                        <p class="MsoNormal" style="">Hello  All<br>
                          <br>
                          We're being audited on the energy model for
                          the dhw saving.  I'm just wondering if this
                          make sense and from your experience if it
                          would be acceptable to the LEED reviewer.<br>
                          <br>
                          What I've done is taken numbers from ASHRAE
                          Handbook HVAC Applications DHW consumption per
                          fixture for office use.<br>
                          7.6 L / hr for lavatory fixtures<br>
                          <br>
                          Showers, kitchen sinks, and Lavatory sinks.<br>
                          Service sinks I'm not quite sure whether i
                          should include all 5 service sinks (one on
                          each level) or just one sinks since there
                          won't be any mopping done since most of the
                          building Under floor air distribution and i'll
                          do a write up of course to explain my
                          reasoning.<br>
                          <br>
                          I took the consumptions per fixture numbers
                          multiplied by the amount of fixture then by
                          the demand factor given.<br>
                          <br>
                          7.6 L/h x 55 # of fixtures x 0.3 demand factor<br>
                          <br>
                          for each type i took the savings percentage
                          based on each fixture. So baseline is 2.5 and
                          proposed case is .5 for lavatory fixtures<br>
                          <br>
                          .5 proposed case  / 2.5 base case<br>
                          <br>
                          So the proposed domestic hot water demand is
                          25.08 L / hr or 0.11 gpm.<br>
                          <br>
                          The reviewer had asked for percentage of hot
                          water vs cold water, and temperature at the
                          fixtures, i found that harder to
                          substantiate.  So I thought this process would
                          be a lot better.<br clear="all">
