9、011 BSI 2011 iForewordPublishing informationThis British Standard is published by BSI and came into effect on31 October 2011. It was prepared by Panel B/504/2/2, Water consumption inbuildings, under the authority of Technical Committee B/504, Water supply. A listof organizations represented on this

10、committee can be obtained on request toits secretary.Use of this documentAs a code of practice, this British Standard takes the form of guidance andrecommendations. It should not be quoted as if it was a specification andparticular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are notmisl

11、eading.Any user claiming compliance with this British Standard is expected to be able tojustify any course of action that deviates from its recommendations.Presentational conventionsThe provisions in this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrecommendations are expressed in senten

12、ces in which the principal auxiliaryverb is “should”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions

13、of acontract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legalobligations.In particular, attention is drawn to the following regulations which may beamended from time to time. The commentary in this British Standard reflectsthe st

14、ate of the regulations in 2011.In this document, the following national regulations, which apply to plumbingsystems in premises to which a supply of public mains water has been provided,are referred to as the “Water Fittings Regulations” 1: The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, in Engl

15、and The Water Byelaws 2004 (Scotland), in Scotland; The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009, inNorthern Ireland.BRITISH STANDARDBS 8542:2011ii BSI 20110 Introduction0.1 GeneralCalculating water use in non-domestic buildings provides a means for estimatinga buildings imp

16、act on water consumption whether looking at the consumptionof new or existing buildings. Calculating water use in non-domestic buildingsalso provides a means for estimating the impact of a terminal fitting on anindividual basis to inform procurement choices. Figure 1 provides a guide on thecalculati

17、on procedure.There are common water uses between different building types, e.g. the use ofwash basin taps in a restaurant is similar to that found in an office or a hotel,but variations also exist, e.g. water use for showering.NOTE The domestic water use requirements for an employee may be simplifie

18、d intokey water uses including water used for WC flushing and other sanitary purposes,water used for drinking, and water used in food/drink preparation and washing-up.With an increasing demand for water efficiency in non-domestic buildings, astandardized framework for reporting water consumption is

19、useful to allowdesigners, specifiers, building managers, water authorities and productmanufacturers to estimate and report water consumption in a consistent way.0.2 Non-domestic building typesThere is a wide range of building types that constitute non-household buildingsincluding, but not limited to

20、: offices; restaurants; retail buildings; industrial buildings; hotels; leisure buildings; education buildings.BRITISH STANDARD BS 8542:2011 BSI 2011 11 ScopeThis British Standard gives recommendations for calculating the volume of publicmains water that is consumed per head per day, per unit per da

21、y, or perbuilding per annum for domestic use in non-domestic buildings. It givesrecommendations for estimating the total water use from the buildingscomponents, allowing consumption to be indicated on a whole building levelagainst other buildings for best practice levels.This standard is not for use

22、 as a design guide.Figure 1 Calculating water consumption using BS 8542BRITISH STANDARDBS 8542:20112 BSI 2011It provides a framework for and details the development of water usecalculation methodologies in non-domestic buildings. It providesrecommendations for the quality of data used to calculate w

23、ater use for eachcomponent in non-domestic buildings and also standardized reporting forproduct performance data.It applies to both new and existing buildings and covers: water that is sourced from unwholesome sources such as rainwaterharvesting systems or greywater reuse systems; and water that is

24、sourced from wholesome sources including both hot and coldwater.This British Standard does not cover design, installation, testing andmaintenance of services supplying water for domestic use. Water use inindustrial processes or for agricultural, medical or fire suppression applicationsand external w

25、ater use such as irrigation or building services, e.g. airconditioning plant and cooling, are also not covered.It does not provide all data for calculating water use in non-domestic buildings,but provides recommendations for the data used to calculate water use innon-domestic buildings. This include

26、s the product performance data for eachterminal fitting and water use research data determining the frequency andduration of use for each terminal fitting.NOTE Total water use may be determined by metering the building, although itmight be difficult to differentiate between domestic water uses and w

27、ater use forother purposes unless these are sub-metered.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application ofthis document.

44、s described in 4.7, e.g. the flowrate of a shower (L/min);BRITISH STANDARD BS 8542:2011 BSI 2011 5b) the frequency and intensity of use of the terminal fitting, e.g. the numberof showers taken per day and the duration of each shower (min);c) occupancy data, including the total occupancy, operating h

45、ours and male tofemale ratio; andd) the volume of unwholesome water available, including the yield anddemand for greywater and rainwater supply systems (L).Water consumption should be calculated using either of the following twoapproaches:1) calculated actual water consumption for the building; or2)

46、 nominal water consumption.The required use of the calculation should determine whether calculated actualwater consumption or nominal water consumption are used.Calculated actual water consumption should be used when: estimating the buildings average and total water consumption; and estimating the i
