By using roof solar collectors/panels to supply the hot water of toilets & kitchen sink.

Solar collectors are being heated by the irradiation; this energy is being transferred from the absorber to
the solar liquid, which transfers this energy to the storage tank through the circulation pumps.

Hot water generated from the solar collectors passes through the tubular type heat exchanger of solar
storage tank which transmits heat from the primary loop to storage water in calorifier tank. The hot water
from the solar collectors will be circulated by means of solar primary circulation pumps based on
temperature difference between solar collector and solar storage tank.

All solar vacuum tube systems must come with the necessary overheat and pressure relief safety ffeatures
required for the safe operation of the system in cases of low usage/low occupancy.

The Solar primary pumps will turn on / off automatically by means of temperature Controller.

The solar collector and solar storage calorifier sensors are connected to the temperature controller and
the pump will start/stop based on the temperature difference.

-way valve closes the circuit towards

the storage tanks and opens towards the emergency cooler to release the excess energy to the ambient.

The contractor shall consider adequate safety provisions in the design to prevent overheating of water.

Domestic hot water Solar fraction should be not less than 75%. The solar energy should cover at least
consumption. Refer to Annexure G - Sustainability & LEED/ Mostadam
75% of the annual total energy consumption
Performance Guidelines for additional requirements.

The Electrical back-up to be sized to cover 100 % of the demand in case of malfunction of solar system.

The hot water generation temperature shall be maintained at 65 oC and Hot water distribution temperature
shall be maintained at 60o C. Thermostatic mixing valves shall be provided at each Bath room, toilets and
kitchen to bring down the temperature to safe temperatures at fixtures to prevent scalding.

Domestic hot water return, and a circulation pump set shall be provided to maintain hot water temperature
within the network.

Minimum of two pumps shall be provided for Hot water primary and circulation pump set. The Pumps shall
be sized on Duty and assist basis. All the pump and motor performance shall meet or exceed ASHRAE
90.1 -2016 requirements. Refer to Annexure G - Sustainability & LEED/ Mostadam Performance
Guidelines for additional requirements.

The dead legs’ in the system shall be reduced to minimum to avoid any bacteria’s growth and stagnation
issues. The Maximum waiting time shall not exceed 10 seconds. The system shall comply with IPC
recommendations.

a. The solar system scope shall include design, installation, testing, commissioning, handing over and
training of operation staff and shall be carried out by a specialist engaged in the installation and
