Name
Non-Residential HVAC Heat Pumps: Collaboration to Solve Rooftop HVAC Challenges (moderated by Jerine Ahmed, SCE)
Description
Decarbonizing non-residential HVAC will require more than better heat pump technology—it will require coordinated action among manufacturers, building owners, policymakers, utilities, and other market leaders. This session will examine how collaborative initiatives are advancing next-generation rooftop heat pumps, overcoming technical and market barriers to adoption, and aligning technology development, building codes, controls, and large-scale market demand to accelerate cost-effective decarbonization.
Moderated by Jerine Ahmed, Senior Engineer, Southern California Edison.
