The Bosch 32C Hot Water System has won the excellence in Green Purchasing - Innovative Green Product of the Year Award in this year’s eCo-Buy Awards. This award recognises an eCo-Find product that is innovative, satisfies a significant need and demonstrates outstanding environmental benefits.

Water heating accounts for 25% of the energy used in the average Australian home, and is responsible for 23% of the total greenhouse gas emissions from home energy use#. The Bosch 32C Hot Water System, designed specifically for commercial developments and larger homes, is a 6.0 star energy efficient appliance; this is the highest rating achieved by a commercial system currently on the market in Australia. While in a conventional hot water system cold water only passes thorough the primary heat exchanger once, the Bosch 32C contains an extra condensing unit, capturing the heat from the exhaust gas and preheating incoming cold water before it passes through the primary heat exchanger. This design reduces energy consumption by more than 15% compared to standard continuous flow commercial system.

Commercial operations, such as child care centres, kindergartens, leisure centres and aged care facilities use a large proportion of their overall energy use on hot water. This makes the Bosch 32C Hot Water System an innovative solution towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting energy use in the home and commercial operations.

Bosch has also recently introduced a Hydronic Heating Boiler range to the Australian market which also utilises this award-winning condensing technology. For heating a house or apartment, either radiator panels or underfloor heating can be used to heat the air in a natural, quiet way which leads to an increased level of comfort in your home. This range also includes a combi-boiler (37 kW) which combines heating and domestic hot water supply in the one appliance.
