This has always been my interpretation. Gas efficiencies apply to natural gas and propane.

If we see the ashrae_90_1_table_G3_1_1_2.json, all the baseline_heating_method
values end with _WATER_HEATER
. Should the swh_equip_type
be GAS_STORAGE_WATER_HEATER
?

I think that should be fine. Recommend updating this RDS.
