When using this system, and water for space
heating is required to be at a higher temperature
than for other uses, an anti-scald valve shall be
used to ensure water for other uses is reduced in
temperature to minimize a scald hazard potential.

Combining two or more end uses such as space
heating and the heating of domestic hot water in
a single system has the potential to increase effi-
ciency and reduce overall capital costs. However,
the proper design, installation, and commission-
ing of these systems are critical if these advan-
tages are to be realized.

This manual provides a guideline of good engi-
neering practice in the design, installation and
commissioning of Integrated Combo Systems.
The guidelines in the manual are designed for
residential forced warm air Integrated Combo
Systems which utilize domestic water heaters or
boilers and the LIFEBREATH furnace. Heating
and cooling loads shall be calculated in accor-
dance with recognized Residential Heat Loss and
Heat Gain Calculation methods. Duct design shall
comply with recognized Residential Air System
Design methods.
