New Water Supply Units for Specific Buildings

Part 3-Water Supply Units for Office Buildings

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to update the water supply units(quantity) for the daily water supply load, which reflects recent water saving, as the basic unit for the design of both regular and hot water supply systems. In our initial report, we proposed the use of water supply units for hospitals, and in our second report, we proposed their use for elementary, junior high, and high schools. This third report describes a proposal for their use in an office. Many surveys and analyses regarding water usage in an office have been published. However, their findings are limited to reports from the Society subcommittee. Therefore, in this report, based on an examination of the data obtained from previous studies, we propose the design of a new water supply unit that reflects the water usage in recent years.
