Regulatory requirements and their practical implementation in the process of calculating water supply systems for apartment buildings

Summary

The article is devoted to the analysis of the amendments to the requirements in legal documents and their practical implementation in the codes of practice in relation to the hydraulic calculation of the inhouse water supply systems of apartment buildings. An overview of the main amendments to the legal documents regarding the functional affiliation of inhouse water supply systems and their maintenance in apartment buildings is given. There is a functional-targeted insufficiency of the methodology and the lack in the current federal-level regulatory and technical documents of the methods for hydraulic calculation of water supply systems for apartment buildings that provide for their design characteristics complying with the mandatory requirements of the federal laws «On Technical Regulation», «Urban Development Code of the Russian Federation» and «Technical Regulations on Safety of Buildings and Structures». Technological approaches are considered in the regulation of water consumption in the water supply systems of apartment buildings. Recommendations are presented on the development of methodological procedures, that being applied will ensure the legal legitimacy of the methods for hydraulic calculation of centralized cold and hot water supply systems in apartment buildings.
