Inquiry

For part (c), can the credit be earned if the project is able to demonstrate that each hot water branch line (i.e. each supply line from the water heater to a fixture) holds less than 0.5 gallons of water?

Ruling

Yes. If a project team can calculate the total capacity (in gallons) for each hot water branch line in the home, and none exceeds 0.5 gallons, EA 7.1 may be awarded.
