Residential building practice currently ignores the losses of energy and water caused bythe poor design of hot water systems. These losses include: the waste of water whilewaiting for hot water to get to the point of use; the wasted heat as water cools down in thedistribution system after a draw; and, the energy to reheat water that was already heatedonce before.A feasibility study and an action plan for a proposed research project involvingresidential hot water distribution systems is being developed. The feasibility study willuse past work to estimate hot water and energy loses caused by current hot waterdistribution systems in residences. A proposed research project, or roadmap, will developrecommendations for improvements to residential hot water distribution systems. Theroadmap addresses the technical obstacles and gaps in our knowledge that prevent waterand energy reductions and market adoption of water- and energy-efficient technologies.The initial results of the feasibility study are presented here along with a discussion of aroadmap to improve the efficiency of residential hot water distribution systems. Includes 6 references, figures.
