Optimizing Residential HVAC Efficiency Programs (Free PDF)



File Size: 1.51 mb

Description
This study was intended to: 1) describe the state of the residential HVAC energy efficiency programs, 2) explain HVAC market trends and dynamics related to efficiency, and 3) quantify the opportunity to address the challenges efficiency programs face by working in partnership with HVAC distributors.
The findings of this study establish that leading distributors are already playing valuable roles that can improve the outcomes of residential HVAC energy efficiency programs. This report describes those roles in detail and provides examples for other distributors and efficiency programs to follow. The research also identified a series of specific recommendations for efficiency programs and distributors.
