[EnergyPlus_Support] use of rainwater

["kristin1goovaerts" <kristin1goovaerts@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

I would like to use rainwater to flush the toilets. I don't know the 
correct procedure to do this since their are no example files 
available.
Should it work if I : 
-use a water use equipment object and leave the target temperature 
schedule field blank 
-add a water use connection object and leave the hot water supply 
temperature schedule blank (so it will refer to the cold water 
supply temperature schedule and the water mains temperature object)
-in the same object leave the inlet and outlet node field blank
-fill in the field 'supply water storage tank' with the appropriate 
name

And how do you calculate the peak volumetric flow rate?

Thanks, I appreciate the help.
