Chapter 4
Water Quality in Premise Plumbing Systems
Publication: Premise Plumbing Modeling
Abstract
Water quality in buildings is complex and impacted by initial water quality and highly variable periods of both stagnation and flow. Calculating water age is the simplest of water quality problems, where water ages uniformly within a system for all pipes. This chapter discusses recent modeling efforts in PPS water quality modeling. The topic areas included in this chapter are dispersion and its impact on water quality, chemical species modeling, biological species modeling, and nonnetwork models such as data-driven or statistical modeling. The chapter provides a brief introduction to secondary disinfection and then describes disinfectant residual models that have been developed and used for pipe networks and how they might be applied for building water system modeling. It presents surveys of models for processes in the water system component portion of the exposure route. The chapter concludes with a summary of modeling needs related to PPS water quality modeling.
