Right-Sizing Plumbing in Homes and Apartment Buildings

Online

Description: Effective July 1, 2024, the Appendix M, Peak Water Demand Calculator (WDC) became part of the California Plumbing Code. Instead of using flow rates and flush volumes from the 1940s, the WDC will allow you to “right-size” the cold and hot water distribution systems in homes and apartment buildings using modern information about flow rates and simultaneous use. Does this sound like a snoozer? Actually, it is an environmentally responsible solution that can save energy, time, money, and water. Learning
