Domestic hot water (DHW) has long been one of the thorniest issues in all-electric and high-performance buildings, with solutions in all-electric DHW systems lagging behind those in other mechanical systems. Reservoir, a new startup based in Boston, is bringing much-needed advances to the world of DHW by using heat pump technology and industrial controls to make the smartest DHW systems on the market.
As Reservoir founder and CEO Luke Winston-Almanzar explained during a recent Component Spotlight held by the Accelerator, Reservoir is responding to the growing demand for electrified DHW systems and the paucity of reliable, all-electric options for owners and developers. “It’s not just about efficiency; it’s about better living,” he said.
