Commercial and institutional facilities can have large complex domestic hot water systems. The key to occupant safety, reduced energy costs, and maximized water use is to ensure that systems are operating at peak performance. In this session, we review common problems with domestic hot water delivery, the impact of uncontrolled temperatures, and outline a strategy to optimize performance with emerging automation technology.
