How to Design Hot Water Recirculation Systems in High-Rise Buildings
Lets start with understanding the basics of hot water recirculation systems.
Have you ever waited a long time for hot water to come out of the tap?
How to Design a Hot Water Recirculation System
Designing a hot water recirculation system can be one of the most challenging parts of the job for many engineers. When done correctly, the process can involve numerous iterations of calculations between pipe sizing and heat loss before the final results are realised.
The Evolution of Design Iteration
New technology enables architects to regularly and quickly iterate a building layout as they receive feedback from all of the project’s stakeholders. The feedback is generally in relation to appearance, budget, and design challenges.

7 Important Steps for Designing Pressure Reduction Valves
It is important to size a pressure reduction valve (PRV) to suit the flow rate that passes through it. You should not necessarily match the inlet pipe size as this can lead to over-sizing of the PRV and oversizing the PRV has adverse effects on the system such as causing undesired noise and also damaging the PRV seal.
