<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I don’t see anything presented that should prevent the hot water consumptions being modeled, though. Everything I can think of to check would be in detailed mode, but one thing that sticks out to me is that
you are using the SD wizards, which I haven’t much experience with. There may be some causality here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If you are trying to stick with the wizards (avoid detailed edits) for now, I would suggest trying “stepping up” to the DD wizards – I have never had issues with hot water systems not operating coming out of
the DD wizards, and that may solve the issue outright.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If you are in detailed edits, I would start by confirming the inputs you’ve listed are showing up under the water tab, then I’d also check the hot water usage schedule to ensure it is assigned and isn’t itself
somehow zeroed out. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Also since you mentioned this is your first project, I’ll put forward that I’m a big proponent of learning the ropes with the DD wizards. For most projects, that’s where you will want to start anyway due to
the added flexibility and timesaving inputs prior to detailed mode, so it makes sense to get familiar sooner than later.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The hot water use looks like it may be the issue. A 3 bedroom house (# beds + 1 = 4 occupants ) will be using 240 gallons per day with the rate you have.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
