Air source heat pump water heaters (HPWH) are gaining popularity as a low-carbon alternative to traditional electric or gas systems, using ambient air to heat water. As adoption accelerates, their installation presents new challenges and opportunities for performance-led innovation. This session explores how HPWH differ from standard electric water heaters and highlights key design and installation considerations—including airflow, occupant health and safety, and condensate management—that must be addressed to optimise performance and ensure compliance. It also examines the evolving role of technical standards in supporting safe, efficient deployment across residential and commercial settings.
