Water Heaters

Select the Water heaters icon from the asset score toolbar to create or edit the water heater(s) used in your building.

Note: Water heaters are an optional input for the Energy Asset Scoring Tool. In most buildings, water heating load is a small fraction of overall energy use, so this input generally has limited impact on the building's overall energy use. The exception is Hotels (Lodging) and Multi-family residential buildings, where water heating loads are high and service hot water systems can noticeably affect energy performance.

Create a water heater

1. Click the Add Water Heater button to add a water heater.
2. When creating water heaters for the first time, enter the fuel type (required), and additional information as known. See Water Heater Inputs for a description of each field. Select the Create Water Heater button.
