The deployment of heat pumps is a key part of the greenhouse gas reduction goals set out in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). While the IRA is an important step forward, states are demonstrating that the decarbonization of heating and cooling in buildings requires additional policy initiatives: workforce training and development, improved energy efficiency program delivery and education, and improved public access and participation.

Join us for an interactive webinar in which we’ll highlight heat pump adoption efforts happening at the regional level in the Midwest and the state level in Michigan. These examples demonstrate how to build on state policies and further leverage federal funds to deliver heating and cooling improvements in homes.

Panelists:

• Kellen McSweeney, senior manager, Slipstream
• Andrew McNeally, manager of energy solutions, Upper Peninsula Power Company
• Rabi Vandergon, air-source heat pump initiative manager, Center for Energy and Environment

Raphael Breit of RAP and Vivian Cox of CLASP will co-moderate the session. After a roundtable discussion, there will be ample time for audience questions.

This webinar may be eligible for CLE credit. To find out more or if you have other questions, please contact Donna Brutkoski at [email protected].
