In your case it makes prefectly good sense due to the space you're managing. What's heating the tap water?
Currently the only gas unit in the building, a gas HWH. Which is in the boiler room on the opposite end of the building. Now that we'll had the gas lines running throughout I'd like to go with an on-demand one right near the bathrooms. Really no sense in heating the water 24 hrs. a day for an 8 hr. work day. Especially when peak usage is that 10 minute span at breaks, before they go to lunch and before they leave for the day. Definitely less hot water with everyone washing their hands than probably one decent length shower at home.
