2025 - 2026
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
CHPWH systems in multifamily and commercial buildings serve two purposes: heating city water entering the building to usable hot water temperatures for occupants and maintaining the water temperature in the distribution and recirculation system. Temperature maintenance typically makes up about 30%...
