Why Metrics Matter: Heat Pump Performance Ratings

This presentation presents four core reasons why energy ratings and metrics are so important, and sheds light on the risk of using current ratings to protect energy and carbon savings as justification for utility, state, and federal programs. You will also receive a high-level view of why organizations such as NEEA, PG&E, and BC Hydro are working to improve various HVAC, and building rest procedures and ratings.

The accompanying presentation, Heat Pump and Air Conditioner Efficiency Ratings: Why Metrics Matter presents examples of rating inadequacy gathered from field and laboratory data gathered between 2017 and 2021. It is available on neea.org.
