BuildingEnergy Boston 2024 Conference Features New Ecology Staff-Led Session
In March, New Ecology staff members Neil Donnelly and Charlie Simek presented the session Equitable, Data Driven, Domestic Hot Water Decarbonization at NESEA’s Building Energy Boston conference.
While electrification of domestic hot water is picking up steam, outdated sizing guidelines result in oversized, expensive, and inefficient systems, especially in affordable multifamily housing. New Ecology’s data, from over 20 affordable multifamily housing sites, reveals differences between the measured loads and traditional sizing guidelines, presenting opportunities for higher system efficiency, reduced operating costs, and lower first costs as these buildings move to electrify their domestic hot water.
We are looking forward to delving further into this topic with Charlie and Neil on the BuildingWell podcast this summer. Be sure to follow/subscribe to the podcast to stay up to date! (Release date: July 25, 2024.)
