Drain Water Heat Recovery: A field study of commercial applications
Drain water heat recovery (DWHR) as discussed in this report is the recovery of useful heat through a heat exchanger placed in the building drain system. This project was an effort to characterize the performance of drain water heat recovery systems as installed in commercial facilities. The concept was based on the observation that commercial occupancies can have hot water loads much larger than those in single family residences, and thus larger energy savings potential. More
