70% to passWhat design feature is used to minimize potable water wastage associated with hot water distribution piping for a potable water system?
AUse of hot water recirculation loops.
BUse of instantaneous type hot water heaters only.
CUse of storage type hot water heaters only.
DUse of hot water heaters with multiple heat sources.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Use of hot water recirculation loops. Hot water recirculation loops help minimize potable water wastage associated with hot water distribution piping by continuously circulating the hot water back to the water heater. This ensures hot water is available at the tap immediately, reducing the amount of time and water wasted waiting for the water to heat up. The other options, such as using instantaneous or storage-type water heaters or multiple heat sources, do not directly address the issue of minimizing water wastage in the hot water distribution system.
