CEE Launches New Commercial Heat Pump Water Heating Qualified Product List

The best of today’s commercial water heating systems are marvels of efficiency and sophistication. These solutions not only demonstrate significant absolute savings over baseline options, but have the capacity, through digital controls and connectivity, to enhance their functionality and overall performance. The newly revised CEE℠ Commercial Water Heating Initiative recognizes these systems that elevate energy efficiency and harness the power of two-way communication and instantaneous signal response. Ratepayer-funded programs are progressively shifting from isolated components to a broader view that includes system-wide specifications, thoughtful design, and proper sizing. CEE aims to help ensure that these systems perform in the field as expected, providing tangible benefits for both customers as well as program administrators.

To recognize models that meet the new CEE Commercial Heat Pump Water Heater (CHPWH) specification, CEE has established a CHPWH Qualified Products List (QPL). Manufacturers are invited to submit information for inclusion on the QPL at this form. This launch of the CEE QPL marks an exciting development for programs and industry to help transform markets through North American coordination to build demand, shift expectations, and drive down costs of today’s most efficient commercial water heaters.
