Recognizing Expertise and Sharing Resources

This week on The Build Show Podcast, Matt delves into the intricacies of water delivery in homes with the “Hot Water Expert” Gary Klein, focusing on plumbing systems and hot water efficiency. Gary discusses minimizing water waste and optimizing hot water delivery, covering various strategies like circulation loops and on-demand pumps. They also tackle outdated plumbing codes and advocate for modernization to reflect water-saving fixtures and smaller pipe diameters. 

Matt and Gary emphasize the need for collaboration between architects and plumbers to achieve efficient plumbing layouts and prevent leaks.
