You will learn "practically perfect plumbing".

Once we build a very high-performance building from the perspective of heating, cooling and ventilation and install high efficiency lighting and plug loads, we are left with what to do about (hot) water. Hot water is a system: heater, distribution piping, plumbing fixtures and appliances, waste heat that runs down the drain. Cold water is a system too. Overlay occupant behavior and then change technologies from what we are used to. To top it off, the way most of us were taught to design hot water systems is based on information that is more than 50 years out of date. This session will present practical measures you can incorporate into your next project that result in high performance (hot) water systems and very satisfied customers.
Bonus - How does all this help you do better in Green Building and LEED for Homes?

1.	Identify at least 5 things you didn’t know your didn’t know about (hot) water and LEED V4 Homes BD+C EA efficient hot water distribution 
2.	Understand the value of pressure compensating aerators 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 
5.	Articulate the future of water heating and how filters apply
