I was mapping out pipes in preparation to install a large activated charcoal water filter [4.5" x 20" cartridge].
I was looking at the pipes in one end of the house and the hot water pipe was warm from hot water use at the other end of the house. The siphon pipes that are meant to make hot water available faster are causing hot water flow to pass through excessive lengths of pipe. So the heat loss is major. I am going to remove that piping. Closing the valve for the siphon system at the tank does not stop that problem; which will occur with any multi point siphon system.
Having a siphon piping system really negates any advantages of a higher efficiency hot water tank.
I think that the new standards for fridge efficiency are all ready in place with some product lines. Variable speed compressors are designed to run most/all of the time.
