Optimizing production efficiencies of hot water units using building energy simulations - Trade-off between Legionella pneumophila contamination risk and energy efficiency
The energy needed for domestic hot water represents an important share in the total energy use of well-insulated and airtight buildings. One of the main reasons for this high energy demand is that hot water is produced at temperatures above 60°C to mitigate the risk of contaminating the hot water sy...
