Following up on part 1, which you can catch here on the GHI youtube channel, Gary will continue with updates, and new things learned about how to right-size the plumbing system for saving energy, water, and cost, increasing system performance, and occupant comfort.

During this session, we will go over a calculator tool for plumbing design and sizing, see a live demonstration, and ahead of time, GHI members and project teams may submit their project plumbing plans ahead time to get them graded on how perfect they are, and we will go over a few during the webinar.

Bonus – How does all this help you do better in Green Building and LEED for Homes?

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify more design strategies you did not know about (hot) water and LEED V4 Homes BD+C EA efficient hot water distribution

2. Understand the pressure drops, how and why they occur and how it connects with LEED V4 Homes BD+C EA efficient hot water distribution

3. Verify that the amount of water, energy and time it takes for hot water to arrive at a fixture is significantly larger than the volume that is in the pipe and how this connects with LEED V4 Homes BD+C EA efficient hot water distribution

4. Compare the pressure drop through modern fittings with the values in our engineering tables and how it releases to LEED V4 Homes BD+C EA efficient hot water distribution

Instructor: Gary Klein
