Yes, tankless water heaters can be installed outside of a building as long as they are designed for outdoor use and protected from the elements.
Installing a tankless water heater outside your home can save space indoors, provide endless hot water, and reduce energy costs.
The best venting options for a tankless water heater are direct venting and power venting. Direct venting uses a sealed pipe system to vent exhaust gases outside, while power venting uses a fan to push exhaust gases outside. Both options are efficient and safe for tankless water heaters.
To properly vent a tankless water heater, you should ensure that the venting system is correctly installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines. This typically involves using the appropriate size and type of vent pipe, ensuring proper slope for condensation drainage, and venting to the outside of the building to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. It is important to have a professional installer or plumber handle the venting to ensure safety and compliance with building codes.
A tankless water heater vent kit typically includes components such as vent pipes, elbows, wall thimbles, termination caps, and necessary hardware for installation. These components are essential for safely venting the exhaust gases produced by the tankless water heater to the outside of the building.

This is one case where the common usage in English has eliminated the proper descriptive function of a preposition. If something is "outside a building", it is actually outside "of" the building, but the word "outside" creates an adverbial clause that removes the need for the "of". "He was standing outside the building." (same case for "inside") The "outside of a building" is a noun meaning the exterior wall. "I had to repair the outside of the building."
Installing a tankless water heater outside can save space indoors, reduce energy costs, and provide hot water more quickly. Additionally, outdoor installation can extend the lifespan of the unit by reducing exposure to indoor elements like moisture and humidity.
Usually the wrap iss installed first. Rigid foam insulation is often installed outside the building wrap, and batt insulation is always installed inside the building wrap. This is because batt insulation is much more moisture absorbent than most rigid foam so needs to be protected from external moisture. So batt insulation will not be installed until after the building wrap is in place to protect it, and externally installed rigid foams are not fixed in place until after the wrap is in place because they are fixed over it.
There are different types of block heaters... Most common one is a freeze plug style heater. you have to remove a freeze plug and install the heater in its location. unfortunatly some engine blocks, such as Saturn engines, do not have freeze plugs. some vehicles have to use an external heater, where it mounts to the outside of the engine block, these heat from the outside of the engine to the inside, and are less effective. Another common one is installed in your radiator hose, simple to install and effective. other options are dipstick heaters, or magnetic oil pan heaters.
From the outside,then the opening can be sealed from wind and rain.I've never installed a window from the inside,in my 30 yrs of house building. - - - - - Vinyl replacement windows are safer to install if you stand inside the building when you're putting the window unit into the hole. Once they're in place you can do all your sealing either from the inside or from the outside--on a double-hung replacement unit, you can remove both sashes and do the sealing easily and effectively. A new construction window, like a homebuilder would install in a new house, MUST be installed from the outside. Replacement windows don't have that problem.
