More information:

Tired of talking about energy-efficient water heaters only to lose the heat on the way to the tap? Stop wasting water (and time!) waiting for the shower to warm up — it’s time to uncover the secrets of Domestic Hot Water Recirculation (DHWR) Systems.

Chuck will walk us through the why, how, and when of DHWR systems, helping both new and seasoned engineers strengthen their understanding of these essential systems. Bring your whole team — this one’s packed with valuable insights! 

In this session, we’ll cover:

• Why DHWR Systems are Essential for Comfort and Efficiency
• Understanding the Critical Roles of TMVs and Recirculation Pumps
• Identifying When DHWR Systems Can Be Eliminated (and Why)
• How to Properly Size and Balance a DHWR System
• Reconciling DHWR Design with ASHRAE 90.1 and Energy Code Mandates
• Exploring Emerging and Alternative DHWR Design Strategies
