Calculation Will be According to Type of The Building & Fixture Unit Methods:-

Choose the Type of Your Building private residence

Type of Pipes will be used Insulated pipe

Type of Pipes will be used

In Case of insulated pipe u don’t need to choise type of pipe used

Total Qloss for Hot Water Network 10010.6

Get Total heat loss in the system = 10010.56 Btu/hr

For each 10,000 BTU/HR Need 1 GPM

Required GPM for heat loss make up = Total heat loss in the system / 10,000
= 1 GPM

Total Farther Pipe length Supply & Return = 109 m

to get pump head the only loss we have in the line friction loss in all pipes and fitting
get pump head = 1.5*(friction loss)
= 1.5 * ( 4/100 * Total pipe length )
= 6.54 meter head
