THE PROGRAM ADVOCATES FOR NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN EFFICIENCY AND SAVINGS GOALS TO CAPTURE CONSUMER, HEALTH, ECONOMIC AND CLIMATE BENEFITS. CORE GOALS ARE TO REALIGN SUCCESSFUL EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS SO THEY MORE INTENTIONALLY ADDRESS CLIMATE GOALS, TREAT WHOLE BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION AND ADDRESS THE NEED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF HOUSING IN LOWER INCOME COMMUNITIES. WE WORK TO DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE AND ACHIEVABILITY OF HIGH EFFICIENCY SAVINGS LEVELS, AND ADDRESS WAYS TO MAKE ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS EASIER FOR CONSUMERS TO PARTICIPATE IN, SPECIFICALLY IN HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND MARKETS. A PRIMARY GOAL IS TO TRANSITION BUILDING HEATING SYSTEMS TO CLEAN ELECTRIC OPTIONS, AND RAPIDLY CONVERT RESIDENTIAL HEATING TO HEAT PUMPS IN ALIGNMENT WITH, BY BUILDING COALITIONS, ADVANCING STATE POLICIES, AND EDUCATING CONSUMERS AND VENDORS ABOUT HEAT PUMPS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$380.1KProgram 2 [2020]
