Central heat pump water heater (HPWH) systems offer a promising decarbonization solution for food service buildings, including restaurants. Recent innovations address common challenges such as space constraints, load profiles, and upfront costs.
In this recorded session from Heat Pump Water Heater Week, industry experts discuss how a heat pump water heater for restaurants supports demanding food service operations. The Advanced Water Heating Initiative, in partnership with the California Energy Design Assistance (CEDA) program, hosts this session. Panelists share insights on performance, system design, and adapting HPWH technologies for commercial kitchen applications.
