Energy efficiency has become a priority for an increasing number of builders, contractors and engineers who work on and support green projects. In fact, sustainability and green solutions are becoming more than just a trend as cities and states across the country have implemented government policies to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. Not to mention the private company-directed sustainability initiatives that continue to gain popularity in the commercial space.
To align with these efforts and evolving greenhouse gas emission reduction policies, water heating manufacturers have begun to offer heat pump water heaters with advanced technology. When it comes to load management, app-based solutions are becoming more common in the residential sector, making it even easier to save energy and track cost savings. While there aren’t any regulatory drivers yet for load management or app-based resources in commercial applications, connectivity has started to gain popularity, as more customers want to see and track the energy used by certain appliances in the buildings they manage.
