This book was released on 1974 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laboratory study of one-story and split-level experimental drainage systems where the vents in some cases were varied from one to six pipe-sizes smaller than those presently specified by codes showed satisfactory hydraulic and pneumatic performance under various loading conditions. This paper presents criteria recommended for the design and evaluation of systems using reduced-sized vents and a sizing table for one- and two-story systems. The laboratory work also contributed to the development of analytical and test procedures needed for evaluating the application of reduced-size venting to a broad range of innovative drain-waste-vent designs for buildings of any height.

First you gotta find it and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people - and its outta paper - and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it's just 10 pages, no problem, but if it's a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that's paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant's anymore?). If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book is published by 4th Watch Books and includes copyright material.

Download or read book Plumbing System Models for a Set of Reference Buildings written by Stephen Zimmerman and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reference buildings have been defined previously and successfully applied to energy and indoor air quality analyses, providing a platform for consistent comparisons between different building design and operation scenarios. One such set of reference buildings, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) suite of homes, is a collection of dwellings developed to represent 80 % of the U.S. housing stock at the time of their development [1]. A second set is the Department of Energy's commercial prototype building models, which is a collection of buildings developed to represent U.S. commercial and institutional buildings [2]. These building models allow for the assessment of new technologies and the resulting impacts on building energy efficiency, ventilation, and indoor air quality. In addition to the aforementioned aspects of building performance, water quality and efficiency are also of current interest [3]. A building's premise plumbing system plays a critical role in managing water quality and efficiency by bringing in clean, potable water and removing wastewater and can impact health and safety of building occupants. Using models to evaluate the performance of premise plumbing systems can be useful but most studies have considered different buildings with different plumbing systems. In order to support more consistent modeling efforts, NIST has developed premise plumbing system models for three residential buildings and four commercial buildings and has made them available for researchers and industry to analyze system performance, new technologies, and design & operation strategies. This report describes the seven plumbing system designs, how they were developed and how they can be accessed.

Download or read book Design Considerations for Hot Water Plumbing written by A. Bhatia and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heating water is typically the second largest use of energy in residential and commercial buildings (after space heating and cooling). Despite its resource intensity, the hot water delivery system is seldom an area of significant focus when constructing a building. As a result, many buildings today are built with poor performing, inefficient hot water delivery systems that take minutes to deliver hot water to the point of use and waste large amounts of energy and water in the process. How quickly and efficiently a hot water system can deliver to the point of use require focus on three areas:• Generation: Heaters shall be sized for meeting both the daily requirements and for the hourly peak loads of the occupants of the building. Hot water can temporarily run out if the design is inadequate and will have higher energy costs if the system is oversized. • Distribution: Once heated, the hot water must be delivered to the intended point of use. The factors influencing the distribution efficiency include length of piping between the water heater and a given fixture, continuous recirculation controls, and materials and insulation effectiveness. • Use: Hot water is used by a variety of fixtures and appliances (faucets, showerheads, clothes washers, and dishwashers). Using efficient products such labeled faucets and showerheads that function at lower flow rates will increase the efficiency of the system.This quick book provides a brief overview of and potential design considerations for hot water plumbing systems for residential and commercial buildings.Learning ObjectiveBy completing this module, the reader will be able to:• Estimate the hot water demands based on theory of probability, fixture types and number of occupants;• Understand the hot water generation techniques, type of fuels and heaters;• Explain three primary factors influencing the heater selection: 1) capacity and frequency of use, 2) heater performance and 3) operating costs;• Determine the appropriate sizing of storage water heaters and compare the use of terms - first heat recovery, storage capacity and recovery rate;• Explain the components of centralized hot water system, direct and indirect heating systems;• Explain the basics of hot water distribution in domestic and commercial installations and its relation to water and energy efficiency;• Understand the application of various types of water supply configurations - an upfeed system, a downfeed system, or some combination thereof;• Understand the difference between the direct and reverse return piping configurations;• Compare and contrast the different control options for designing a continuous recirculation hot distribution system and the impact of such choices on water and energy sustainability;• Size the hot water circulator and the piping diameters on velocity and pressure drop criteria;• Understand the different techniques and options for hot water mixing control;• Learn the facts, formulas and good engineering practices pertaining to energy efficiency and safety.
