Technical Committee: 6.6 Service Water Heating Systems
Water heating is the second largest energy load after space conditioning in residential buildings. The US Department of Energy has recently completed regulatory proceedings to update the test procedure and minimum energy efficiency standards for residential and residential-duty commercial water heaters to use the new Uniform Energy Factor metric. The Department is currently updating the minimum energy efficiency standards for commercial water heaters. This panel discusses the strengths and shortcomings of the regulations, the rulemaking process and ASHRAE's role in it. The panelists include the Department of Energy's engineer in charge of these regulations, AHRI's Chief Technical Advisor representing the water heater manufacturers and a representative from an efficiency advocacy organization who is also on ASHRAE RAC.
