Water Demand Calculations

This document calculates the total water demand for fixtures in a non-residential building. It lists the various fixtures, their fixture unit weights for cold and hot water, and the quantity of each fixture. The total fixture units are 47, resulting in a peak water demand of 27.8 GPM or 6.31 cubic meters per hour. Based on a peak factor of 1.5 and a 60 minute duration, the mean demand is calculated to be 18.5 GPM. The required overhead tank size is 556 gallons and the recommended transfer pump capacity is 18.5 GPM.
