AutoHot Meets Program Requirements for Demand Based Controls

Demand based controls by AutoHot meet DOE Zero Energy Ready Home Program requirements for hot water recirculation pumps.

A DOE Zero Energy Ready Home is a high-performance home that is so energy efficient that a renewable energy system could offset most or all of the home’s annual energy use. That is where the AutoHot Demand Recirculation Controls come into play. The Residential AutoHot Demand Recirculation System eliminates the wait for hot water in any home or light commercial plumbing system, saving thousands of gallons of water per year, only operating when needed.

Zero Energy Ready Homes represent a whole new level of performance in terms of energy efficiency, comfort, health, and durability. The Residential AutoHot Demand Recirculation system is compatible with all types of water heaters, including tankless and heat pumps. 

Each home where The Residential AutoHot demand recirculation system is installed can meet the rigorous efficiency and performance criteria found in the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home National Program Requirements. Most types of newly constructed homes in the U.S. are eligible for the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home program. They are verified by a qualified third-party as part of the certification process. Additionally, certified homes qualify for the Federal 45L Tax Credit – up to $5,000.

Another bonus of the AutoHot system is meeting current energy code requirements for recirculation pump demand controls including IECC and California Title 24.
