Lochinvar, an industry leader in high-efficiency boilers and water heaters, was honored with the prestigious Vision Award for the cutting-edge Regent commercial tankless water heater. This accolade recognizes Lochinvar’s commitment to delivering ultra-high-efficiency, dependable commercial water-heating technology.

The FacilitiesNet Vision Award, now in its eighth year, recognizes manufacturers across 12 categories that contribute to the efficient, profitable operation and management of commercial buildings in the United States. Lochinvar was honored as one of a handful of organizations in the HVAC category. 

Achieving up to 97% thermal efficiency and featuring a turndown ratio of up to 25:1, the Regent unit optimizes energy use by scaling its operation to match demand, reducing waste during low-activity periods. The Regent water heater delivers a steady supply of hot water without the limitations of traditional tank-based systems. Its dynamic heating capabilities ensure consistent performance, even as demand fluctuates.

“Lochinvar prides itself on innovative and dependable design, and we are honored to have this commitment recognized by the Vision Awards,” said Rhea-Anne Pendley, Lochinvar senior product manager. “The Regent tankless water heater represents a significant milestone in our mission to redefine commercial water heating, proving that facilities don’t have to choose between high-volume output and exceptional energy efficiency

At the core of the Regent unit’s reliability is RealTime O₂ Trim technology, which automatically adjusts the air-to-fuel ratio for peak combustion efficiency. This innovation not only maximizes energy savings but also extends the unit’s lifespan by preventing inefficiencies. Paired with an Ultrasonic Flow Sensor, the system responds instantly to changes in water flow. This ensures precise temperature control even during rapid demand shifts.
