"Electric heat pump water heaters combine tried-and-true water storage and heating technologies to provide users with a reliable, efficient unit," Holladay said. "With an increasing priority on decarbonization, it's critical that the good stewards of the energy industry have a deep understanding of the solutions available to contractors and homeowners. Bradford White's portfolio of Energy Star-rated electric heat pump water heaters delivers extraordinary energy efficiency along with high-quality performance and reliability."

Holladay will be joined by Howard Merson, Senior Fellow, Trade Ally Strategy & Management at Energy Solutions and Paul Campbell, Director Energy & Sustainability Marketing at ICF. Together, these industry experts will teach attendees to do the following:

• Understand and demonstrate how a heat pump water heater works, saves money, and can ultimately pay for itself through rebates and gained efficiencies.
