DOE Total Funding: $740,000
Project Term: January 1, 2021 – January 1, 2024
Funding Type: Funding Opportunity
Project Objective
This project’s objective is to design, develop, prototype and test electrical air-source heat pumps (ASHP) for hot water, space heating, and cooling for multifamily buildings in cold-climates. Lab and field tests to demonstrate system performance of commercially available ASHPs, namely R410 systems, transcritical carbon dioxide (TR-CO2) systems, and new low GWP systems exceeding DOE/BTO marks.
Project Impact
This project will help urban centers adopt emission-reduction strategies. For example, in 2024, a law will be going into effect in New York City that requires 80% GHG reduction by 2050. Given that buildings account for 70% of the city's total emissions, this initiative is poised to have a substantial influence.
