TitleSpecification(s)Objective(s)
5.3103.11a
Coil assessment

Assessment will be conducted to determine whether alternative options for providing domestic hot water exist, such as:

  • Separate direct-fired unit (SWS 7.8102.4 Storage Tank-Type Water Heater)
  • Boiler with indirect water heater (SWS 5.3102.10 Installation of Combined Heat and Domestic Hot Water System (Hot Water))

Selected coil size will be verified for appropriate capacity by a contractor

Ensure optimal system is applied

Ensure domestic hot water load is met
