Advantages and disadvantages How it works Innovation Impact on Other Systems Impact on Architecture and Construction

BUILDING DETAILS
Location: Dallas, TX Codes Used:
Dallas Plumbing Code IPC 2012
Rainfall per hour 4 Used psi of 4.6 for pressure Used in sizing all of the piping

SYSTEM SELECTED AND COMPONENTS

Domestic Water
Copper Instantaneous water heaters Recirculation pumps

Fire Protection
Black Steel Siamese connection

Sanitation Line
Cast Iron Cleanouts

Storm Drainage
Cast Iron

REASON FOR SELECTING THIS SYSTEM: DOMESTIC WATER INSTANTANEOUS WATER HEATERS Advantages Disadvantages
More efficient because no standby heat loss Only heat when you turn on water Tankless take up less space Never run out of hot water Last 5-10 years longer Does not produce greenhouse gases Can only heat small quantities of water Three times as costly Hot water output split among fixtures May require additional circuit

Requires a lot of energy to get heat

REASON FOR SELECTING THIS SYSTEM: FLAT ROOF WITH ROOF DRAINS Advantages Disadvantages
Cheaper to build Hidden Difficult to know when its clogged without back-up drain Need emergency drainage system

Dumps directly into the storm sewer

Can introduce a lambs tongue to see when main system is blocked

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS DOMESTIC WATER

Cold water routed throughout building (blue line)
Cold enters water heater (blue arrow) Hot leaves water heater (red arrow) (yellow line) Recirculation line runs from furthest fixture back to water heater (pink line) (white arrow) Cycle starts over

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS FIRE PROTECTION

Siamese connection
Located on West side for ease of use by the fire department Siamese type will be determined by Dallas Fire Department

Pumps into the fire protection line

Sprinkler system is boosted

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS SANITATION LINE

Each fixtures GPM is taken into account Pipe sized off of GPM and pressure (4.6 psi) Routed through building

Deposited into the sanitary sewer

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS STORM DRAINAGE

Normal Drainage
It Rains Roof drains kick into action

Routed through building

Deposited into storm sewer

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS STORM DRAINAGE

Emergency Drainage
Normal drains clog

Water.

2 of water accumulate on the roof Emergency roof drains activate Deposited through lambs tongue onto club balcony Runs through balcony drains out side of building

INNOVATIVE DESIGN COMPONENTS

Everything coming in at a centralized location Instantaneous water heaters
Only turns on when hot water is needed Easily hidden from sight Recirculation line
Saves energy

IMPACT ON OTHER SYSTEMS

Lighting Mechanical Structural
Running pipe perpendicular to bar joists
Easier to hang Factor in weight of pipe

IMPACT ON ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION Hung pipe perpendicular to bar joist
for easy install No exterior piping can be seen by public Small use of lambs tongues, which are bronzed to match the limestone Everything stacked in one central area Used open space around elevators to run pipes vertically
