AMS-II.M. Demand-side energy efficiency activities for<br />
installation of low-flow hot water savings devices<br />
Typical project(s) Activities for direct installation of low-flow hot water savings devices used in residential<br />
buildings e.g. low-flow showerheads, kitchen faucets and bathroom faucets.<br />

AMS-II.M.<br />
Energy Efficiency.<br />
• Fuel or electricity savings through the installation of low-flow hot water savings devices.<br />
• The project devices (PD) must contain integral, non-removable flow restrictions;<br />
• Only retrofit projects are allowable;<br />
• One year warranty of the PD;<br />
• Compliance to applicable standards of the PD;<br />
• Equivalent level of service (functional comfort and cleaning performance);<br />
• PD are directly installed and tested to be functional;<br />
• PD are marked for clear unique identification;<br />
• Method for collection, destruction and/or recycling of baseline devices;<br />
• Procedures to eliminate double counting are explained.<br />
Important parameters At validation:<br />
• Measured flow rate of baseline device (litres/minute).<br />
BASELINE SCENARIO<br />
Less efficient hot water devices<br />
are used in residential buildings.<br />
More water, that requires heating<br />
by electricity or fossil fuel, is<br />
consumed.<br />
PROJECT SCENARIO<br />
Efficient (low-flow) hot water<br />
devices replace less efficient hot<br />
water devices thus reducing the<br />
amount of water that requires<br />
heating by electricity or fossil fuel.<br />
Monitored:<br />
• Measured flow rate of project device (litres/minute);<br />
• Measured amount of water used by project device (litres);<br />
• Temperature of hot water (Maximum 40°C);<br />
• Temperature of cold water (Minimum 10°C);<br />
• Determine the number of low-flow devices installed and operating.<br />
