The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)is hosting the 2025 Hot Water & Hot Air Forums in Portland, Oregon. These premier conferences focus on enhancing efficiency and decarbonizing space andwater heating in buildings. Attendees will engage in discussions on topics such as heat pump technologies, energy bill reduction strategies, and improving grid resilience. The events attract a diverse group of professionals, including manufacturers, utility experts, government representatives, and policymakers.
Paths less commonly taken include photovoltaics for water heating in cold climates or green CHP for both hot water and power; improving any water heating system’s efficiency with solar thermal; solar pool heating technologies today; and central horizontal drain water heat recovery in larger buildings.
