  • Abstract
    This paper explores the impact of adequately sizing HPWH units based on field installations and data collected from sites in the southeastern United States. Utilities may consider offering incentives for HPWHs based on tank size or estimated flow rates rather than technology type. To maximize the value to utilities, adequate sizing of HPWH units based on gallon per day (gpd) usage is impressive.
