What the program funds
The objective is to develop decision-relevant data and analysis on the market viability and program readiness (including availability, technological feasibility, incremental benefits, regulatory treatment, and cost-effectiveness) of potential consensus specification requirements for incentive-eligible equipment, and support deployment and in-field efficiency of qualifying equipment as part of utility ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs. Recipient tasks include technical and market analysis to inform decisions on updating Energy Efficiency Product Performance Tiers, coordinate market transformation efforts to support the uptake and in-field performance of IRA Tax Credit-eligible residential equipment in the home retrofit market, and coordinate market transformation efforts to support the uptake and in-field performance of IRA Tax Credit-eligible residential equipment in targeted product-only programs and their controls in the “emergency” or “end of useful life" home equipment replacement market.
