PERC has partnered with CS Learning Solutions to offer a series of free; American Institute of Architects (AIA) certified educational courses for builders and architects interested in increasing their knowledge of propane’s green applications in the marketplace.  

This Green Water Heating with Propane: Retrofitting from Electric Builder Education Course is in PowerPoint format and can be downloaded and given to builders, architects, and remodelers to educate them on how to install a gas-fueled tankless water heater and how it can reduce energy costs by more than 60 percent a year.   

The course describes retrofit guidelines for gas-fueled tankless water heaters, how to assess a homeowner's budget for tankless installations, and examine jobsite challenges including how piping and venting will run throughout the home. The course looks at how tankless water heaters free up space in the home, as well as tactics for selling and installing tankless water heaters. Propane water heaters are a smart energy decision, delivering superior comfort, savings and they are an environmentally friendly option.
