Section 4: Domestic Hot Water Systems
• Tankless Coil or other Combined System– Single unit produces hot water or steam for heat and hot water for potable use
• Separate Unit– There are two separate units – one for heating and one for DHW production

Section 4: Domestic Hot Water Systems
• Indirect Water Heater (Indirect Fired Unit)– There is a separate unit but no fire, water from heating boiler is circulated through coil located in an additional storage tank, or through an external heat exchanger.
• Instantaneous or On Demand Water Heater– A separately fired unit that does not have any storage capacity. The unit is turned ON when there is a demand
• Seasonal Switchover– Combi system during heating season, dedicated unit in non‐heating season
Methods of Production

Domestic Hot Water Recirculation– According to NYSERDA, 6 ‐11% of DHW energy
consumption can be saved by controlling the DHW circulation pump
– However, some mixing valves require constant circulation for proper operation
