2. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

   Tankless gas electronic ignition water heaters. Gas water heaters have an exhaust vent or one to two exhaust pipes on the top, and still require electric power for electronics, sensing and ignition. A three-phase, 21 kW, 400-volt tankless water heater in Europe, with new European color coding for three-phase power.

   Direct electric resistance tank water heaters are not included in the Energy Star program; however, the Energy Star program does include electric heat pump units with energy factors of 200% or higher. Tankless gas water heaters (as of 2015) must have an energy factor of 90% or higher for Energy Star qualification.

4. Storage water heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_water_heater

   Solar heat is clean and renewable. This is the most modern system. Increasingly, solar powered water heaters are being used. Their solar thermal collectors are installed outside dwellings, typically on the roof or walls or nearby, and the potable hot water storage tank is typically a pre-existing or new conventional water heater, or a water heater specifically designed for solar thermal.

5. Electric heating - Wikipedia

   An electric shower or electric shower head are self-heating shower heads that use an immersion heater which is turned on with the flow of water. A group of separate electric heating elements can be switched to offer different heating levels. They are specialized point-of-use tankless water heaters, and are widely used in some countries.

6. Hot water storage tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_water_storage_tank

   Hot water tanks may have a built-in gas or oil burner system, electric immersion heaters. Some types use an external heat exchanger such as a central heating system, or heated water from another energy source. The most typical, in the domestic context, is a fossil-fuel burner, electric immersion elements, or a district heating scheme. [2]

7. Standing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_loss

   Standing loss, or standing losses, is a non-technical term to define energy losses in a system, usually associated with heat and hot water storage systems.It is the amount of energy lost through heat transfer to the surrounding environment; as such it is directly related to how well insulated a system is.
