Domestic hot-water — Demand & Compliance (XA §6.1)

Calculates daily/annual hot-water energy, checks allowed technologies, ≤50% electric supplementary cap, editable Table 10 min storage for SWH/HP, and pipe insulation R checks (Table 11 – editable).

1) Project context

Auto-syncs with Basics.

2) Technology & supply split (XA §6.1)

XA note: electric supplementary ≤ 50% of annual average volume.
SANS 6.1 Note 3: If measures are poor, EER may drop to 0.2.

3) Demand & energy

Daily volume
Daily thermal (kWh)
Annual thermal (kWh)
Est. grid kWh (after EER)

4) Minimum storage (Table 10)

5) Pipe insulation (exposed) — SANS 10400-XA 6.1.6 & 6.1.7

Enter proposed insulation length and thickness. Table 11 Required: R 1.00 for ≤ 80mm dia. | R 1.50 for > 80mm dia. Piping to be insulated includes hot supply/return, and cold water / pressure relief (PRV) within 1m of connection.
