The recommended distance between a hotel building and the nearest utility connections can vary depending on local building codes, regulations, and infrastructure preferences. However, general guidelines suggest that utility connections, such as water supply lines, gas lines, electrical supply lines, and sewage connections, should be located as close as possible to the building in order to minimize construction costs and operational inefficiencies.
For example, water supply lines are typically recommended to be within 10-15 meters (30-50 feet) of the building to lessen the water pressure drop. Gas lines should be located within 3-5 meters (10-15 feet) for optimal energy efficiency. Electrical supply lines should be within 5-15 meters (15-50 feet) to minimize cable losses and voltage drops. Lastly, sewage connections should be within 5-10 meters (15-30 feet) to facilitate efficient wastewater disposal.
It is essential to consult local building codes and work with utility companies during the planning and construction phases of a hotel project to ensure compliance with specific requirements and ensure an effective and functional utility infrastructure for the building.
