Summary

Prepared for NAEEEC by George Wilkenfeld & Assocs, October 2002. This report considers the case for introducing energy labelling for domestic electric storage water heaters, including solar-electric and heat pump types. takes into account a range of issues, including:

(a) the range of water heater technologies and energy efficiencies;
(b) the impact of existing and proposed minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) regimes; and
(c) the way in which consumers, builders and other market intermediaries select energy forms and water heaters.
