CLEVELAND, OHIO—Green Lodging News has just added a new case study to its website. The case study focuses on the 130-room (Ala.) and its installation of a 17-unit tankless water heating system from Noritz America. The original specification for the hotel called for a pair of 750-gallon, 750,000 BTU per hour (BTU/h) boilers, each measuring roughly five feet by 12 feet. The mechanical room where they were to be squeezed into could accommodate both pieces of equipment, but with just a few inches of clearance between each unit and the surrounding walls.
Contractor Anthony Crouch, owner of Crouch & Sons Plumbing LLC in Florence, reviewed the original specification with his plumbing distributor, the Tallman Co., and quickly concluded that the installation was all but unworkable. A tankless multi-unit water heating system was selected instead. Tankless water heaters heat water only when it is needed, unlike traditional water heaters that heat water over and over.
How the contractor and distributor installed the system is a fascinating read. To read the complete case study, click here.
