Hosted By: Four Points Sheraton, Plainview, 333 South Service Road, Plainview, 11803

Take-away:

• Learn to be comfortable with the basics of heat transfer as it relates to production of potable hot water

• Discover a means of calculating domestic hot water loads that allows the engineer to record all of the assumptions and directly calculate the DHW demand (no more “black-box” methods).

• Gain greater understanding in what goes into determining diversity factors, assumptions on occupancy and other human factor elements.

• Compare ASHARAE sizing methods to fixture flow and usage methods of sizing DHW demand.
