Electrifying domestic hot water (DHW) in multifamily buildings is a tough nut to crack—and one of the most critical challenges on the path to low- and zero-carbon buildings. Join James Petersen, P.E., Founder & Principal at Petersen Engineering and President of the PHMass Board to explore the current landscape of electric DHW solutions for large multifamily projects, with a clear-eyed look at what works, what doesn’t, and where the real tradeoffs lie. Through real-world case studies, the presentation will examine system types, costs, sizing strategies, energy use, embodied carbon, mechanical space demands, metering approaches, and ongoing maintenance considerations.
