ETS 2010 | Demand Controlled Pumping Systems for Existing Homes - Part 1

ETS 2010 | Demand Controlled Pumping Systems for Existing Homes - Larry Acker, ACT Incorporated Demand Systems - Part 1 of 4

There are over 30,000,000 homes in the US in which the hot water distributions systems are plumbed such these homes have unacceptably long waits for hot water. This represents billions of gallons of potable water going down the drain not only creating additional sewage processing but also a substantial cost of energy. The energy loss represents pollutants in the atmosphere causing additional global warming. There is a simple and easy way to retrofit these homes that will save energy and water, reduce sewage processing, reduce air pollution and create a convenience to the home owner at an affordable cost.

The purpose of this session is to review the problem, identify the retrofit options and compare these options in terms of water, energy, pollution reduction and cost savings.

Participants in this session will:

- Discuss the options that are available to retrofit existing houses.
- Learn about the pros and cons of each option.
- Identify the most energy, water and pollution efficient option.

This presentation was part of the 2010 International Emerging Technology Symposium, a two-day event that provided participants with an opportunity to view presentations and engage in timely discussions on how the water utility, manufacturing, engineering, and trade industries have found solutions through emerging technologies in the water efficiency, plumbing and mechanical industries.
