In October 2026, the United States will enter a new era of water heating. The Department of Energy (DoE) will require all newly manufactured commercial water heaters to have a minimum thermal efficiency of 95% for gas-fired storage heaters, and 96% instantaneous gas-fired heaters.


These changes will require adjustment from engineers, contractors, and ownership groups for specification, installation and maintenance, including a change in venting practices. However, mastering the nuances of these new standards will allow you to maximize their benefits for you/your customer. Join our deep dive into DOE’s new standards so you can future-proof your MEP practice.


Learning Objectives:
  1. Explore what’s changing in the new 2026 DoE requirements and the impact on the commercial water heating industry
  2. Identify the impacts to engineers, contractors, and end-users
  3. Learn to avoid the common mistakes made when transitioning buildings to condensing technology
  4. Quantify the energy savings gained by utilizing high-efficiency technology
