Domestic hot water (DHW) design is critical to optimize energy efficiency, while reducing water waste. Guest host Christoph Lohr, P.E. will detail the policies, standards, and credentials that can help designers and installers navigate the waters.
He will discuss these ten critical issues related to DHW design:
→ Definition: Recirculating vs. Circulating
→ Automatic Balancing Valves vs. Manual Balancing Valves
→ ASSE/IAPMO IGC Standard 368 for thermostatic balancing valves and IAPMO/ASSE/ANSI 1115-202x for Automatic Balancing Valves
→ Digital Master Mixing Valve Standard IGC 384 (IAPMO/ASSE/ANSI 1118-202x)
→ Right Sizing Hot Water Supply Systems (Water Demand Calculator)
→ Right Sizing Hot Water Return Systems (Hardy Cross Methodology)
→ ASSE 12000 Series Credential
→ Testing and Balancing/Commissioning of hot water systems
→ ASPE 99 Thermal Disinfection Standard Development
→ Hot Water Return Pump: UPC Code Update
Christoph is IAPMO’s Vice President of Technical Services and Research. As part of his duties he provides industry leadership through participation in strategic industry initiatives, and provides technical support to all IAPMO’s business units as needed. Christoph has over a decade of experience in designing plumbing systems and has a reputation as a results-oriented expert, particularly in the realm of balancing waterborne pathogen prevention and water sustainability.

Can a hydronic system effectively – and efficiently – provide heating, cooling, domestic hot water AND heat recovery ventilation in a residential home? John Siegenthaler, P.E., a favorite to the webinar series, will discuss design details, challenges and lessons learned from a from a recent project profile of a modern hybrid approach utilizing an air-to-water heat pump system that checks all of the boxes during this 90-minute extended edition.
You’ll learn:
→ Back-up heating. When is it necessary?
→ Can a single 44 watt circulator supply all space heating flow for a 2,300 square foot house?
→ Does chilled water cooling and heat recovery ventilation require separate duct systems?
→ Can panel radiators operate at supply water temperature below 100 ºF on design days?
→ Where does an “extended manifold” piping system make sense?
→ How are 3-way diverter valves applied in air-to-water heat pump systems?
→ What are the advantages of multi-zone heating combined with single-zone cooling?
Siegenthaler is a seasoned industry leader and passionate teacher, eager to share his over 40 years’ experience in the understanding and proper application of water-based engineering principles with our audience. He is the principal of Appropriate Designs and a regular contributor to industry publications.

Three Keys to Hydronic System Protection
Maintaining the health of water-based fluids circulating within hydronic systems is paramount in protecting components and maximizing efficiency. Proper air, dirt and magnetic separation are three keys for optimal system performance. Designers and installers might hang their hats on using high-performance separators, however, best practices for hydronic systems may call for a more complex approach.
Rest assured! Bob “Hot Rod” Rohr, Cody Mack and Max Rohr will cover the basics of these devices and then treat our audience to a lively debate.
You’ll learn:
→ What is the difference between baseline and high-performance air, dirt and magnetic separation?
→ Why do I still have an air issue?
→ What is the best method for replacing fluid that leaves a system?
→ Shop Talk Showdown: Do you leave the AutoFill on? Yes or no?
