tempering tanks are most common with on demand hot water as electric on demand hot water heaters have a hard time keeping up with the demand for heat, the draw back to them is that in the heating season you are using that heat in your house to heat the cold water, the energy to heat anything is the same, if it's coming from the warm air in your house, or the heating element in the water heater, that water is still absorbing energy.
