Need help with sizing and type of hot water heater for hotel
Post Body

Need to choose water heaters for a hotel renovation. 2 buildings, both had 100gal 200k btu natural water heaters previously, reviews mention running out of hot water.

Building 1 - 20 rooms, all small, 1 bed, hot water plumbing fixtures 20 showers, 20 vanity sinks.

Building 2- 7 rooms (2 large suites with 2 beds, 5 smaller 2 bed), 2 commercial laundry machines for hotel linens, small lounge kitchen with commercial sink and small under counter commercial dish washer, 1 lobby unisex bath with vanity sink.

Assume both buildings need hot water loops so hot water is readily quickly available to each fixture, long waits will be a big issue, as would running out of hot water. With that said, project is over budget so donโ€™t want to over spend if no tangible benefit to the hotel patrons, life expectancy of appliance or gas bill.

On demand type systems seems appealing, Iโ€™m not sure mechanics of plumbing a hot water loop with on demands and not have the heaters running full time, I have done them on tank units very simple.

Not against tank units also if makes sense. Please advise.

Thanks!
