2. Energy factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_factor

   The energy factor metric only applies to residential water heaters, which are currently defined by fuel, type, and input capacity. [5] Generally, the EF number represents the thermal efficiency of the water heater as a percentage, since it is an average of the ratio of the theoretical heat required to raise the temperature of water drawn to the amount of energy actually consumed by the water ...

3. Water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

   In comparison, a typical 230 L (60 US gal) tank electric water heater has a 4.5 kW (15,000 BTU/h) heating element, which at 100% efficient results in a heating time of about 2.34 hours. At $0.16/kWh the electricity would cost $1.68.

4. Storage water heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_water_heater

   Solar heat is clean and renewable. This is the most modern system. Increasingly, solar powered water heaters are being used. Their solar thermal collectors are installed outside dwellings, typically on the roof or walls or nearby, and the potable hot water storage tank is typically a pre-existing or new conventional water heater, or a water heater specifically designed for solar thermal.

5. Residential water use in the U.S. and Canada - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_water_use_in...

   Indoor water use includes water flows through fixtures and appliances inside the house. The average daily indoor water use per household (averaging 2.65 people in the North American sample) ranged from zero to 644 gphd (gallons per household per day) and averaged 138 gphd, with standard deviation of about 80 gphd (or 521 liters per day and ...

6. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

   A hybrid water heater is a water heating system that integrates technology traits from both the tank-type water heaters and the tankless water heaters. [5] It maintains water pressure and consistent supply of hot water across multiple hot water applications, and like its tankless cousins, it is efficient and can supply a continuous flow of hot ...

7. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

   For a heating system this would mean two things: Reducing the output temperature to around 30 °C (86 °F) which requires piped floor, wall or ceiling heating, or oversized water to air heaters. Increasing the input temperature (e.g. by using an oversized ground source or by access to a solar-assisted thermal bank [10]).
