Abstract:Two formulae are given in the Code for Design of Building Water Supply and Drainage for the Calculation of building hot water.Nevertheless,the hourly variation factor,Kh,in the two formulae can be hardly determined in actual applications.By sorting out relevant data in the said code and processing the data using the method of least squares,a fit formulais obtained for the calculation of the value of Kh.
