The peak volumetric flow rate for water equipment use was set to: 0,000077m 3 /s for water<br />

outlets, 0.0001022 m 3 /s for showers, 0.0000786 m 3 /s for washing machines <strong>and</strong> 0.0000504<br />

m 3 /s for dishwashers. The annual consumption equal to 416.11 m 3 was given.<br />

3.5.4 Results <strong>of</strong> computational <strong>analysis</strong><br />

In <strong>the</strong> EnergyPlus-System, <strong>the</strong> model <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>solar</strong> collectors adapts <strong>the</strong> equations from <strong>the</strong><br />

ASHRAE St<strong>and</strong>ard 96-1980 (1989), ASHRAE St<strong>and</strong>ard 93-1986 (1991) <strong>and</strong> Duffie <strong>and</strong><br />

Beckman (1991) work. The calculations were performed for an annual operation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

DHW system <strong>and</strong> some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> more important results are presented in Table 3.13 <strong>and</strong><br />

The total site energy (in Table 3.13) can be defined as <strong>the</strong> sum <strong>of</strong> purchased fossil fuel,<br />

electricity, chilled water <strong>and</strong> steam (<strong>the</strong> overall energy use at <strong>the</strong> building site for all<br />

energy types <strong>and</strong> categories <strong>of</strong> use). Purchased heating (in Table 3.14) is defined as heating<br />

available from permanently installed heating units.<br />

The total energy dem<strong>and</strong> for heating domestic water per building is equal to 17198.07<br />

kWh/a. This value consists <strong>of</strong> an auxiliary source plus pumps energy (6430.36 kWh/a) <strong>and</strong>
