In recent years, for the reduction of the global environmental load and protection of water resources, comprehensive evaluation of strategies for the effective use of water resources and energy conservation has become necessary. This research focuses on various processes in planning, designing, and operation of a building water supply and drainage sanitary system, and the purpose is to develop a simulation tool for practical designers that simultaneously calculates the amount of water used in and energy consumed by plumbing systems. In this report, the calculation system of the developed tool and the water supply load calculation method are discussed, and the applicability of this tool for determining the energy consumption of a water supply system is verified by using measured data.
