¶ Baths in DEAP
In DEAP 4.2 each bath present in the dwelling should be accounted for.
To add a bath, in Water Heating select the option to “Add Showers & Baths”:
In the Search screen that pops up, “Bath” is one of the “Common Items” listed.
Select it and click “Add Selected Item” to continue.
The bath will be added to the dwelling. No further information is required – DEAP will make the necessary adjustments in the background to account for the presence of the bath.
¶ Baths & Showers Examples
A bath, where present, should always be counted in a survey. If there is separate bath and shower systems, or there is a bath/shower tap with a mixer valve, and it is possible to have either a bath or stand under the shower head to have a shower, both should be counted in the survey.
The following are examples of where a bath and a shower should be counted as being present in the dwelling.
A mixer tap can be considered to be a shower where a wall bracket such as the one shown below is available so that a person may stand under the showerhead and have a shower in the normal way.
Push-on showerhead attachments such as the one shown below are not considered in the shower count in DEAP. A mixer tap without a wall bracket at head height is also not counted as a shower.
