A5.207.3 Service Water-Heating Systems and Equipment

California Green Building Standards Code 2019 > A6.1 — Voluntary Standards for Health Facilities [OSHPD 1, 2 & 4] > A5.207 [OSHPD 1, 2 & 4] HVAC Design, Equipment and Installation > A5.207.3 Service Water-Heating Systems and Equipment
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

A5.207.3.1 Certification by Manufacturers

Any service water-heating system or equipment may be installed only if the manufacturer has certified that the system or equipment complies with all of the requirements of this subsection for that system or equipment.

A5.207.3.1.1 Temperature Controls for Service Water-Heating Systems

Service water-heating systems shall be equipped with automatic temperature controls capable of adjustment from the lowest to the highest acceptable temperature settings for the intended use as listed in Table 2, Chapter 9 of the ASHRAE Handbook, HVAC Applications Volume.

A5.207.3.2 Efficiency

Equipment shall meet the applicable requirements of the Appliance Efficiency Regulations as required by Section A5.210.1, subject to the following:
  1. If more than one standard is listed in the Appliance Efficiency Regulations, the equipment shall meet all the standards listed; and
  2. If more than one test method is listed in the Appliance Efficiency Regulations, the equipment shall comply with the applicable standard when tested with each test method; and
  3. Where equipment can serve more than one function, such as both heating and cooling or both space heating and water heating, it shall comply with all the requirements applicable to each function; and
  4. Where a requirement is for equipment rated at its "maximum rated capacity" or "minimum rated capacity," the capacity shall be as provided for and allowed by the controls, during steady-state operation.

A5.207.3.3 Installation

Any service water-heating system or equipment may be installed only if the system or equipment complies with all of the applicable requirements of this subsection for the system or equipment.

A5.207.3.3.1 Outlet Temperature Controls

On systems that have a total capacity greater than 167,000 Btu/hr, outlets that require higher than service water temperatures as listed in the ASHRAE Handbook, Applications Volume, shall have separate remote heaters, heat exchangers or boosters to supply the outlet with the higher temperature.

A5.207.3.3.2 Temperature Controls for Public Lavatories

The controls shall limit the outlet temperature to 110°F.

A5.207.3.3.3 Insulation

Unfired service water heater storage tanks and backup tanks for solar water-heating systems shall have:
  1. External insulation with an installed R-value of at least R-12; or
  2. Internal and external insulation with a combined R-value of at least R-16; or
  3. The heat loss of the tank surface based on an 80°F water-air temperature difference shall be less than 6.5 Btu per hour per square foot.

A5.207.3.3.4 Service Water Heaters in State Buildings

Any newly constructed building constructed by the State shall derive its service water heating from a system that provides at least 60 percent of the energy needed for service water heating from site solar energy or recovered energy.
Exception: Buildings for which the state architect determines that service water heating from site solar energy or recovered energy is economically or physically infeasible.
