The energy infrastructure modernization is a complex social and technical problem requiring an integrated approach. After analyzing the hot water system operation in a residential apartment building, being previously a hostel, the reason for the temperature regime violation was determined. In connection with the building status change, the residents number has significantly decreased, the service block, which led to a change in water consumption conditions has been eliminated. In addition, the requirements for minimum water temperature in centralized hot water systems have changed. The question of using a dead-end hot water supply system possibility, provided by the project or its reconstruction into the circulation network, was considered. The studies were conducted in accordance with the methodology described in MIC 4.3.2900-11 “The centralized hot water supply systems hot water temperature measurement”. There was a discrepancy in the temperature coolant standard indicators at the dismantling points on different floors of the building. The difference in temperature at the input (the heat meter and thermometer readings) and at the end user is associated with additional water cooling in the supply pipes of the domestic hot water heating system. When transferring the public buildings to housing stock, it is necessary to revise not only water consumption rates, but also the hot water supply scheme in general. The lack of circulation leads to waste of hot water and increases the cost to the consumer. To ensure the required temperature standards for a full day in a dead-end hot water supply system, which is provided for by the project, continuous dismantling of the water is required, which is difficult to achieve with a changed building status. The resolution of the problem is possible only when the domestic hot water heating system is switched to the circulation mode with the circulation piping and the circulation pump installation.
