I have got to spec and price a job which I could do with some advice on. It is for the clubhouse of a sports club.
Basically there is currently no heating, and an open vented hot water cylinder off an immersion heater.
What they want is heating in the bar and kitchen area and a new hot water system for new showers etc.
At one end of the building is the kitchen, ladies toilet and the bar area. The gas meter is down in that end of the building as well. At the other end is where the mens toilet, dressing rooms and showers are going to be. There will be 6 showers, and two wash hand basins in total in the mens and changing room area.
What I had in mind was a combi boiler in the kitchen to do the heating in the bar and do the hot water for the kitchen, bar and ladies toilet. Then an unvented set up for the showers and mens toilet area. A direct one may be better due to length of pipe run from the boiler to zone the cylinder and heat it indirectly. I have never fitted a direct unvented, are the recovery times any good? This is only going to be used on a Saturday, once a week. So need to weigh up installation cost against running cost as it wont be getting a lot of use.
What kind of size of cylinder am I likely to need? Thinking an accumulator will be needed as all 6 showers are likely to be in use at the same time.
I have only ever done work in domestic houses, are the any different regulations involved on the water side of things for a sports clubhouse type place?
Any advice would be a massive help.
