COSTS AND ENERGY CHARACTERISTICS FOR ELECTRIC AND

GAS-FIRED STORAGE WATER HEATERS

This Appendix reproduces the data request forms used to gather manufacturer cost and

energy characteristics data for residential electric and gas-fired water heaters. These forms were

developed by Arthur D. Little Inc. and were provided to water heater manufacturers by the U.S.
