AM14: Non-domestic hot water heating systems provides comprehensive guidance on the design, installation, commissioning and operation and maintenance of heating systems. It addresses the two very different aspects of design: that intended for a new building, and that for a refurbishment project. This publication should be widely read and used by all those responsible for heating systems in non-domestic buildings, and should contribute significantly to proving better heating in many buildings.

CIBSE, working with ICOM Energy and experts from the manufacturing, design, and installation and commissioning sectors, have produced this Applications Manual, giving comprehensive guidance on the design, installation, commis­sioning and operation and maintenance of heating systems (it does not cover medium temperature or high temperature hot water systems i.e. those having flow temperatures above 90 °C).
