DHW Sizing

Does anyone know where I could find good reference material to size domestic hot water loads for 1 or 2 family homes. I'm interested in replacing the atmospheric hot water boiler with a condensing boiler and an indirect hot water tank. Thanks!

Sizing
Look at the DHW sizing tables in the attached. Usually, the smallest indirect is sufficient for an average home and family and will have more output than a 40 - 50 gal. gas heater.Bob Boan

Domestic Water
The average DHW load - no whirlpools, is 15-20% on top of your heat load. With whirlpools, the load stays the same, but you have to size the tank for the dump load.0
