TECHNICAL APPENDIX
WATER REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMUNITY BUILDINGS
The requirements of buildings intended for specific uses, such as offices, residential units, hotels, department
stores, nursing homes and so on, are different from those of condominiums, and both their global
daily water consumption and the maximum contemporaneity flow rate are usually greater. The diagram of
water requirements for community buildings shows the maximum contemporaneity flow rate of some
types of communities, for guidance.
These requirements must be determined case by case with the utmost accuracy, using analytical calculation methods,
according to particular needs and local provisions.
For seaside resorts, the flow rate must be increased by at least 20%.
