* To calculate maximum energy consumption in standby, measure the gas energy used in one hour (in Btus) and the electrical energy used in watt-hours) over a one-hour period, when the main burner is off. Divide Btus per hour by one foot to obtain Btus per watt. Divide Btus per hour by 3.412 to obtain watts. Add watts of gas energy to watts of electrical energy to obtain standby energy consumption in watts. |

1Standby loss is based on a 70°F temperature difference between stored water and ambient requirements. In the standby loss equations, Vt is the rated volume in gallons. Vm is the measured volume in gallons, and Q is the nameplate input rate in Btu/hr.
2Water heaters and hot water supply boilers having more than 140 gallons of storage capacity are not required to meet the standby loss requirement if the tank surface is thermally insulated to R-12.5. If a standing pilot light is not installed, and for gas- or oil-fired storage water heaters, there is a flue damper or fan-assisted combustion. |

¹ Standby loss is based on a 70°F temperature difference between stored water and ambient requirements. In the standby loss equations, Vc is the rated volume in gallons, Vm is the measured volume in gallons, and Q is the nameplate input rate in Btu/hr. ² Water heaters and hot water supply boilers having more than 140 gallons of storage capacity are not required to meet the standby loss requirement if the tank surface is thermally insulated to R-12.5, if a standing pilot light is not installed, and for gas- or oil-fired storage water heaters, there is a flue damper or fan-assisted combustion. |
