Efficient distribution and recirculation play a critical role in heat pump water heater performance in multifamily buildings. Poorly designed systems can increase energy use, water waste, and occupant wait times.
In this recorded session from Heat Pump Water Heater Week, experts discuss heat pump water heater distribution systems for multifamily buildings. The session covers recirculation strategies, system controls, and best practices to maintain performance and occupant comfort. Panelists share lessons from real-world projects and manufacturer perspectives on efficient system design.

The California Energy Design Assistance (CEDA) program supports projects using heat pump water heater distribution systems and similar measures. CEDA provides technical analysis, design guidance, and incentives to improve system efficiency and reduce operational costs. Our support helps multifamily projects deliver reliable hot water while meeting energy and decarbonization goals.
