1 water supply

Water Supply for Residences A minimum of 70 to 100 litre per head per day may be considered
adequate for domestic needs of urban communities, apart from non-domestic needs as flushing
requirements (which varies based on type of building occupancy). As a general rule the following
rates per capita per day may be considered for domestic and non-domestic needs:

a) For communities with population up to 20 000:

1) Water supply through stand: 40 lphd (Min) post

2) Water supply through house: 70 to 100 lphd service connection

b) For communities with: 100 to 135 lphd

population 20 000 to 100 000

together with full flushing system

c) For communities with population: 150to200 1phd above 100 000 together with full flushing system

NOTE — The value of water supply given as 150 to 200 litre per head per day may be reduced to
135 litre per head per day for houses for Medium Income Group (MIG) and Lower Income Groups
(LIG) and Economically Weaker Section of Society (EWS), depending upon prevailing conditions

The rainwater pipes

shall be fixed to the
outside of the external
walls of the building or
in recesses or chases cut
or formed in such
external wall or in such
other manner as may be
approved by the
Authority.

Rainwater pipes
conveying rainwater
shall discharge directly or
by means of a channel
into or over an inlet to
a surface drain or shall
discharge freely in a
compound, drained to
surface drain but in no
case shall it discharge
directly into any closed
drain.
 The recommended slopes for the flat roofs with smooth finish would be 1:150 to 1:133, with rough
stone/tiles 1 : 1 00 and for gravel set in cement or losely packed concrete finish 1 :75 to 1 :66. The
effective strainer area should preferably be 1.5 to 2 times the area of pipe to which it connects to
considerably enhance the capacity of rainwater pipes

The roof area (RA) for drainage may be worked out by using:

RA = 0.084 x d5llII

where

RA = roof area, m2;

d = pipe diameter, mm; and

/ = intensity of rainfall, mm/h.

 Cooling and heating load estimate shall be carried out prior to design and installation of HVAC
equipment. Calculation of cooling and heating load shall take into account the following factors:

a) Recommended indoor temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, mean radiant temperature,
clothing and activity;

b) Outside design conditions as specified in 5;

c) Details of building construction and orientation of exposures of building components;

d) Fenestration area, thermal properties and shading factors;

e) Occupancy — Number of people and their schedule of activities;

f) Ventilation — Requirement for fresh air;

g) Infiltration, air leakage;

h) Internal load — Equipment, computer/ server and lighting;

j) Effective volume; and Occupancy, lighting and equipment schedule.
