You Should Always Refer To The Ontario Building Code For Current Regulations TOTAL DAILY DESIGN FLOW RATES FOR RESIDENTIAL OCCUPANCY Q (Litres/Day) Example of how to determine daily design flow rate: Dwellings: a) 1 bedroom dwelling b) 2 bedroom dwelling c) 3 bedroom dwelling d) 4 bedroom dwelling e) 5 bedroom dwelling f) Additional flow for i) each bedroom over 5 ii) A) each 10m² (or part thereof) over 200m², up to 400m²(³) B) each 10m² (or part thereof) over 400m² up to 600m²(³)and C) each 10m² (or part of it) over 600m²(³), or iii) each fixture unit over 20 fixture units (³) Total finished area, excluding the area of the finished basement. 750 1100 1600 2000 2500 500 100 75 50 50 Using a 4 bedroom, 235m² home with 22 fixture units. From Chart on left: 4 bedroom home > 200m² or > 20 fixture units = 2,000 /day additional 35m² = 400 /day (additional 2 fixture units = 100 /day) Q (total daily design flow rate) = 2,400 litres/day If, as in the example above, there is a choice in arriving at the flow rate (e.g., fixture units vs. floor area) use the one calculation that provides the greatest daily flow rate value.
