Hot Water Usage
Through using a number of online source we compiled these hot water estimates:
- Showering: 20 gal. (only the GRU table listed their number based on a 10 min. shower at 2.5 gal./min)
- Shaving: 2 gal.
- Washing Hands and Face: 2.6 gal.
- Shampooing Hair: 4 gal.
- Hand Dishwashing: 3.6 gal. (seems low)
- Clothes Washing: 25 gal. (only GRU listed usage for various washer settings, note that this number does not corrolate to the model information)
- Food Preparation: 5 gal. (DOE listings)
By using these estimates we figured that we use the following amount of hot water each week:
- 42 showers per week ( Figuring some take more than one shower a day, some not every day, visitors may shower also. )
- 12 shavees per week ( maybe 4 occupants shave 3x a week)
- 100 hand and face washings ( about 2 per person per day)
- 7 dish doings per week (one per day but figure 7.2 gallons as there are more occupants than what the above average assumes)
- 5 food prep (does it really take 5 gallons of hot water?)
- 6 loads of laundry ( with some doing multiple loads, others using warm water setting, etc.)
The average daily usage is therefore: 192 gallons of hot water
- per person: 28 gallons of hot water per day
Note: The above estimates are made assuming 7 residents, which is the average annual number of occupants.
