Building America Expert Meeting Highlights Opportunities for Hot Water Energy Savings
High-performance homes have reduced energy use by leaps and bounds, but the findings of a recent Building America Expert Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, suggest that even more improvements are possible. Typically, energy savings in high-performance homes are achieved through improvements in space conditioning. Domestic hot-water systems, which have been largely overlooked until now, could lead to more savings—with better research and industry participation. Learn more.
