With the Thousand Home Challenge as the context, evaluate the opportunity for deep reductions of water heating energy. Using a systems approach that integrates water heaters, plumbing, fixtures, and occupant behavior, Gary Klein describes a comprehensive process for reducing hot water and energy use while improving actual service and user satisfaction. Part 1 discusses principles of effective water heating and how to evaluate hot water systems in existing homes. Part 2 presents case studies that apply these concepts, and the opportunity to get your questions answered.

By attending Part 1, participants will:

1. Understand typical residential water heating loads and the levels of reduction needed to meet the Thousand Home Challenge,

2. Learn how to evaluate existing hot water systems for energy and water reduction opportunities, and

3. Recognize the characteristics of, and equipment available for, high performance water heating systems.

By attending Part 2, participants will:

4. Learn from case studies that apply the principles and technologies discussed in the first webinar,

5. Better understand the advantages of a systems approach to reducing water heating energy use, and

6. Get their questions answered.
