Session Description
Residential water heating programs are finding increasing
value in moving efforts up the supply chain, by
promoting efficient products at the midstream level.
Presenters will share their work designing and deploying
programs designed to incentivize retailers and
distributors to stock and promote efficient water heating
equipment (both gas and electric products).
These include strategies to increase installer, sales
associate, and consumer adoption. Speakers will talk about
their efforts to date, as well as plans for the future
direction of their res water heating midstream programs.

ENERGY STAR Specification for Residential Water Heaters
19
• Eligible for ENERGY STAR certification
since 2008.
• Finalized Version 3.2 specification in July
2017, allows water heaters to certify with
uniform energy factor (UEF) data. UEF
requirements induce some technology
breaks:
– Electric: heat pumps only.
– Gas instantaneous: condensing
only.
– Gas storage: condensing only for
large volume.

Background – Utility Partners
• ENERGY STAR has over 600 utility and regional efficiency group partners.
• ENERGY STAR developed guidance on midstream distributor-focused water heater programs by:
– Interviewing program actors that have implemented programs.
– Reviewing key program policy papers and presentations.
– Interviewing program managers interested in midstream water heater programs to
understand their concerns.

New! Distributor-Focused Midstream Website

![Page 23: Promoting Water Heating through Midstream …...2 Session Description Residential water heating programs are finding increasing value in moving efforts up the supply chain, by promoting](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070802/5f02b4a17e708231d40599ad/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Understanding the Fundamentals
• End downstream (mail-in) rebates.
– Ineffective: high overhead and marketing costs; contractors/customer do not like forms
and waiting for reimbursement.
– Low participation: ETO found only 50% of HPWHs sold received downstream rebates.
• Shift rebate to distributor.
– Cooperative agreement with distributor to pass along “instant” discount to contractor.
23
![Page 24: Promoting Water Heating through Midstream …...2 Session Description Residential water heating programs are finding increasing value in moving efforts up the supply chain, by promoting](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070802/5f02b4a17e708231d40599ad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why Midstream for Water Heaters Makes Sense Now
• Energy Independence & Security Act (EISA):
– 45 lumens per watt (LPW) mandate by January 1, 2020.
• Largest impact for residential programs:
– Potential savings per bulb goes from 32 Watts to 3.2 Watts.
– 65% reduction of gigawatt hours (GWH) savings.
– Claimable savings goes down!
24
![Page 25: Promoting Water Heating through Midstream …...2 Session Description Residential water heating programs are finding increasing value in moving efforts up the supply chain, by promoting](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070802/5f02b4a17e708231d40599ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Amazing Increases in Water Heater Program Participation
25
![Page 26: Promoting Water Heating through Midstream …...2 Session Description Residential water heating programs are finding increasing value in moving efforts up the supply chain, by promoting](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070802/5f02b4a17e708231d40599ad/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why Midstream Works
• Program administrator:
– Eliminates rebate breakage and increases participation by order of magnitude.
• Manufacturer:
– Sells more higher profit energy efficient water heaters.
• Plumber:
– Receives incentive instantly without burdensome paperwork.
• Homeowner:
– Obtains efficient water heater during emergency replacement.
26
![Page 27: Promoting Water Heating through Midstream …...2 Session Description Residential water heating programs are finding increasing value in moving efforts up the supply chain, by promoting](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070802/5f02b4a17e708231d40599ad/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Distributors Can Be Persuaded
• Hardest to convince because asking distributor to
administer incentive program and:
– Increase paperwork/ recordkeeping burden
and transaction time.
– Learn about efficient water heater options.
– Risk overstock of unsellable efficient water
heaters if funding goes away (inventories set
months in advance).
– Pass along 100% of incentive to contractor
usually.
• But, distributors are often convinced by….
– Larger profit per efficient water heater sold.
– An “administrative fee” to ease incentive
application burden.
Skeptical Distributor

Best Practices
• Take advantage of peer learning/exchange:
– ENERGY STAR Technical Assistance Group. Email
[email protected] to set-up a call.
• Continue outreach to contractors and consumers.
• Familiarize yourself with plumbing supply distributors.
• Work with EM&V teams during program planning.
• Fine tune the midstream incentive.
• Manage how incentives are passed along.

![Page 29: Promoting Water Heating through Midstream …...2 Session Description Residential water heating programs are finding increasing value in moving efforts up the supply chain, by promoting](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070802/5f02b4a17e708231d40599ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Best Practices: Accommodating Distributors
• Appeal to the distributor’s bottom line.
• Involve few select large distributors early in the program development process.
• Provide a method for verifying eligible models.
• Provide an administrative fee to distributors.
29
![Page 30: Promoting Water Heating through Midstream …...2 Session Description Residential water heating programs are finding increasing value in moving efforts up the supply chain, by promoting](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070802/5f02b4a17e708231d40599ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Best Practices: Accommodating Distributors
• Pay the distributor within 30 days (enormous
outlays by distributor).
– Provide online portal to input incentive
information.
– Minimize data input requirements.
– Automate incentive processing by
integrating incented WHs into distributor
inventory and sales tracking.
– Use direct deposit and electronic fund
transfers to expedite payment.
• Plan for increases in program participation to
avoid budget overruns.

Looking to the Future
• Greater expansion of midstream programs for water heaters.
• Instant Rebates at Retail:
– Pilots at retail currently underway.
– In-store smartphone app:
• Scans the product barcode (next to POP
promoting program to address attribution).
• Asks for address, confirmation of service territory
(to address leakage).
• Issues an online coupon to reduce price at
checkout.
– Utility branded gift card could be issued instead of a
reduced price (to improve attribution).
