Dalrada + ATI of New York · Hot water. Reimagined.
Design the building and its hot water together.
A new building gives the design team an opportunity to coordinate hot-water production, energy storage and distribution before space and service routes are fixed.

New York project planning
Coordinate New York new-build hot water early
Give the building design team a defined DHW brief while plant space and service routes can still change. Identify the project jurisdiction and responsible professionals before assuming that a system arrangement meets local requirements.
- Occupancy, fixtures and simultaneous demand assumptions
- Reserved plant, storage and maintenance space
- Electrical coordination and the project review schedule
Define the use and its peaks
Record expected occupancy, fixture use, simultaneous demand and daily operating patterns. Separate DHW demand from any low-temperature space-heating load. Each application needs its own temperature and load study.
Reserve the right space and services
Coordinate equipment location, airflow, structure, acoustic requirements, storage volume, electrical service and service access with the design team. Include distribution and recirculation losses in the complete energy assessment.
Review operating conditions and resilience
Check the available output for the intended outdoor and water temperatures. Establish recovery, storage, backup, commissioning and maintenance requirements before fixing the final equipment schedule.
Questions before you begin
When should hot-water planning start?
Early enough for the team to reserve plant space, storage, electrical capacity and service routes before those decisions become difficult to change.
Is this a final engineering design?
No. The website and tools help prepare a project brief. The design team must confirm loads, temperatures, equipment suitability and applicable requirements.
