In Hot Water

Harvey Sachs

Thursday, August 21
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Interest in meeting domestic hot water needs with greater efficiency is exploding. At June's ACEEE Hot Water Forum, new hot water generating technologies, structured plumbing approaches, new demand-reduction devices (e.g., in fixtures and water-efficient appliances), and programs for stimulating market uptake of new approaches were all discussed by a surprisingly large group of 170 enthusiastic experts from manufacturing; distribution; electricity, gas and water utilities; government; and the research community. If you missed the meeting, or want to relive some highlights, this session is for you. But, all of that is preface for the meat of the session: we want to discuss program and policy options to take advantage of the ENERGY STAR water heater program that launches January 1, 2009.
