pre-heat incoming cold fresh water, so it takes less purchased energy to meet hot water energy demands. By using the Power-Pipe, builders and developers have been able to get credit toward compliance under the French Building Energy Code for the past two years. The approval paves the way for financial incentive and income tax credit programmes, which are delivered by a variety of public and private agencies, including the government of France, regions of France, and French utilities.
