As per the statement of Larry M. Schneider AIA, "ONLY ONLY for the employees


to wash their hands - otherwise hot water is not required.  If the toilet 

room is not used by the employees to wash up; then you do not need hot 

water"

 

Does this mean regular office buildings do NOT need hot water in the 

bathrooms?

 

If so, then what should we tell the inspector when he asks for hot water in 

regular office suite?

 

Regards,

Sam
