Summary
The program aims to increase adoption and further monitor performance of cold climate, high efficiency packaged window heat pumps (PWHPs) as a cost effective, minimally invasive heating electrification retrofit solution for New York State buildings. The program will achieve this via a 2-phase PON. Under Phase I, NYSERDA will publish PWHP performance specifications and other requirements. PWHP manufacturers & vendors will apply to Phase I by providing documentation that PWHPs meet those specifications & requirements. NYSERDA will review those application packages and, upon approval, applicants will become PWHP Program Participants and will be eligible to apply for Phase II. No funding will be committed or disbursed under Phase I.
