abstract
Space conditioning and water heating consume over 40% of the nation's primary energy and are a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many homes use a traditional electric heat pump (HP) which can suffer from performance decline in colder climates. New technology in the form of cold-climate heat pumps (CCHPs) operate with greater capacity and efficiency at outdoor temperatures below 32°F. To advance the adoption of CCHP technologies, the US Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Cold-Climate Heat Pump Technology Challenge as part of the Initiative for Better Energy, Emissions, and Equity (E3 Initiative). DOE has partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), and heat pump manufacturers to accelerate the development and commercialization of next-generation CCHPs that meet consumer comfort and efficiency needs in cold climate regions of North America.
