Hot water system calculations and volume data is sourced from SANS and various on-line resources. Hot water energy consumption is calculated for a hot water requirement of 60 C with cold water temperature based on the average ambient air temperature for the climatic zone. Hot water demand calculations include a 20% allowance for heat loss within the water reticulation system. Mean available solar irradiance values is based on satellite-derived meteorology and solar energy parameters sourced from NASA Atmospheric Science Data Centre ( Source values (kwh/m²/day) converted to kj/m²/day.
