Power-Pipe® Drain Water Heat
Recovery technology is affordable, practical, and
proven. It has no moving parts and requires no
maintenance. The Power-Pipe primarily saves energy from
showers, which use up to 80% of the hot water in homes,
apartment buildings, and health clubs. The Power-Pipe
works with any type of water heating system and is also
used in many commercial operations such as hotels,
hospitals, laundry facilities and restaurants as well as
in industrial processes.
HomeDepot.com has been offering
the Power-Pipe to homeowners, contractors, and builders
online for over 2 years now:
www.homedepot.com/s/power-pipe?NCNI-5.
Typically the Power-Pipe reduces water heating energy
consumption by 20 to 35%, though smaller units save less
and the larger units can provide up to 48% energy
savings in the average home. Putting this into
perspective, “whole-home energy consumption” is usually
reduced by 4 to 7% and as much as 10%.
“Decreasing energy costs for American homeowners is an
effective way to increase a family’s quality of life”
said Gerald Van Decker. “Power-Pipe Drain Water Heat
Recovery systems enable homeowners to cost-effectively
save a significant amount of energy, helping to reduce
monthly household expenses and reduce Green House Gas
emissions by about 200 pounds per person per year with
Natural Gas Water Heating….which is a yearly reduction
of more than an average adult’s weight. It is a great
“Carbon Weight-Loss” technology!”
The technology was developed and is manufactured by
RenewABILITY Energy Inc. It is sold across North
America, Europe and Asia. The Power-Pipe system can be

About RESNET
The Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) was
founded in 1995 as an independent, non-profit
organization committed to helping homeowners reduce the
cost of their utility bills by making their homes more
energy efficient.
RESNET is responsible for creating the national training
and certification standards for HERS Raters and Home
Energy Survey Professionals, both of which are
recognized by federal government agencies such as the
U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the U.S. mortgage industry. For
more information contact Steve Baden at
sbaden@natresnet.org or visit
www.resnet.us.
About the HERS Index
The HERS Index was created by RESNET in order to give
homeowners and buyers a standard by which they could
measure the efficiency of homes they currently own or
want to purchase. To arrive at a home’s HERS score a
Certified HERS Rater first performs an energy audit on
the home. The audit data is compared against a reference
home of the same size and shape and which would comply
to the 2006 International Energy and Conservation Code (IECC).
The lower a home’s HERS score is, the more energy
efficient the home is. For more information on the HERS
Index visit:
www.HERSindex.com. The HERS Index is used by many
counties for energy code compliance, used to assess
Energy Star for New Homes compliance, for LEED for Homes
and a number of other home labelling programs. It can
also be used as an alternative compliance path under the
2015 IECC. MLS in a number of States now includes HERS
Index Scores for the homes that they list; for example:

and
