DEER Water Heater Calculator v5.1 in which the normalizing unit (NormUnit) was changed from Cap-kBTUh (to reflect the input capacity of the water heater) to CapOut-kBtuh (to reflect the output capacity of the water heater). It was necessary to do this to align the water heater equipment capacities for fuel substitution measures. No other changes were made to the workbook. 2023 Jan 1 2022 Aug 29 See history
