v
(n · p · v · w
) must be calculated for each relevant draw-off point per

similar residential unit.
Now use the calculated demand factor N to select the required DHW
cylinder at the appropriate heating water flow temperature from the
tables on pages 8 and 11. Select a DHW cylinder with an N
least equal to N.

The demand factor N is identical to the number of standard residen-
tial units in the building project.
It does not necessarily correspond to the actual number of residen-
tial units.
Example:
For a residential building project, design the DHW system on the
basis of demand factor N.
The numbers of similar residential units, the room factor and the
equipment level listed in table 5 have been taken from the building
plans.
The occupancy factor p was determined using the room factor r and
table 1 on page 14.
The number of draw-off points to be used in the design was calcula-
ted using table 2 on page 14 and table 3 on page 15.
