But I was thinking about this... and the gas-fired demand water heater exhaust part could be solved by hacking a heat pump water heater, instead of burning gas... better cheaper.
Better to reduce energy through efficiency... then recovery becomes a smaller, more reasonable undertaking.
I think that there was a history element to this video, like the history of zero energy homes.
But the widespread use of heat pumps, for so many purposes, even to the point of the secrets of the technology falling into the eagerly awaiting hands of hackers such as ourselves, hadn't happened yet.
Then there's induction cooking.
So energy not used is more efficient than energy recovered.
