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 />

Type of GHG emissions<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 />
