[Greenbuilding] FW: Final ENERGY STAR V2.0 Commercial Dishwasher Specification

[Carmine Vasile]

Energy Star Standard V2.0 excludes wastewater heat recovery systems, yet application notes @ http://www.gfxtechnology.com/DishWasher.pdf, for example, show enormous quantities of recoverable waste-heat goes down-the-drain.
     Could anyone explain why Energy Star Managers continue to ignore energy in 185F wastewater flowing near 4.5 GPM from thousands of Flight-Type dishwashers that run up to 22 hours per day in busy hotels like those in DisneyWorld?
