1 Peak Water Demand Study: Development of Metrics and Method for Estimating Design Flows in Buildings ACEEE 2016 HOT WATER FORUM: PORTLAND, OR TORITSEJU OMAGHOMI, STEVEN BUCHBERGER, TIMOTHY WOLFE, JASON HEWITT, AND DANIEL COLE FEBRUARY 22 ND,

2 Outline Background Task Group Water Use Database Key Parameters and Considerations Application Conclusion 2

3 BACKGROUND 3

4 GPM Hunter s Curve High efficiency fixtures = lower q 1940 Today, Hunter s curve is often faulted for giving overly conservative design.why? 2016 Uncongested use = lower p Fixture Units 4

5 Changing Times 5

6 Modified Hunter s Curve(s) Different curve for different end users 6

7 TASK GROUP 7

8 IAPMO Task Group Orders.will work singularly to develop the probability model to predict peak demands based on the number of plumbing fixtures of different kinds installed in one system. (Bring Hunter into 21 st Century) 8
