Water Demand Calculation in Plumbing as per IPC & NBCI
Learn to calculate water demand using IPC & NBC 2016 for plumbing system design.
What you'll learn
Understand the fundamental concepts of water demand calculation in plumbing systems, including fixture unit methods and daily usage standards.
Perform accurate water demand calculations using International Plumbing Code (IPC) and National Building Code of India (NBC 2016) guidelines.
Identify and classify different plumbing fixtures and water outlets, and assign appropriate fixture unit values as per code requirements.
Design and size water supply systems for residential and commercial buildings based on calculated water demand.
Requirements
Basic understanding of plumbing systems is helpful but not mandatory.
A general interest in MEP design, plumbing, or building services engineering.
Access to a calculator, notebook, or Excel sheet for manual calculation practice.
No prior experience is required — this course is designed to be beginner-friendly and explained from the fundamentals.
Description
Are you an aspiring MEP designer, a plumbing engineer, or a civil/mechanical engineering student looking to master water demand calculation for building projects?This course is designed to help you accurately calculate water demand in plumbing systems using two globally recognized standards:International Plumbing Code (IPC)National Building Code of India (NBC 2016), IS 1172Water demand calculation is a crucial first step in designing any plumbing system — and understanding how to do it properly ensures your designs are code-compliant, cost-effective, and efficient.
In this beginner-friendly course, you’ll start from the basics and gradually move towards professional-level understanding of how water supply demand is determined in both residential and commercial buildings.
What You’ll Learn:
The fundamentals of water demand in plumbing design How to assign fixture unit values to different plumbing fixtures How to calculate total water demand using fixture units and usage factors How to apply IPC and NBCI standards for domestic and non-domestic projects Real-world examples and case studies for better practical understanding
Why Take This Course?
Easy to understand with visual examples and simple explanations Learn both Indian and International codes in one course Get ready for real-world design projects or job interviews in MEP roles Save time and avoid costly design errors in plumbing systems Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or someone switching to the MEP field, this short course will give you the confidence to start calculating water demand for any project — with clarity and precision.
Who this course is for
MEP design engineers and plumbing designers who want to strengthen their understanding of water demand calculation using Indian and international standards.
Mechanical or civil engineering students interested in building services or plumbing design.
Working professionals in the construction or building services industry looking to enhance their technical knowledge in plumbing systems.
Beginners or career changers who want to enter the field of plumbing or MEP design with a solid foundation in water supply calculations.
Architects, consultants, and contractors who want to better coordinate with plumbing engineers and understand water demand planning.
