Abstract
A protocol is described for conducting a survey to monitor instantaneous peak water use in non-residential buildings using a new wireless sensor network technology. The protocol enables compilation of a nationally representative water use database from which key parameters can be extracted and then applied to calibrate the Water Demand Calculator for predicting instantaneous peak water demand in non-residential buildings. In addition, the report summarizes a conceptual plan for a laboratory facility for conducting experiments to determine flow pressure loss across fittings and other hydraulic appurtenances commonly found in modern premise plumbing systems.Citation
