How do we get more efficient comfort and convenience through demand-responsive heat pump controls? The need to balance energy efficiency, grid stability, and customer comfort and convenience requires innovative approaches to manage the variability and flexibility of heat pump systems. Join us for a discussion on pioneering projects to test the functional capabilities of heat pump systems for demand response while maximizing energy savings for consumers. We will also discuss evaluation of advanced control strategies that allow heat pumps to adjust their operation based on real-time grid demands.
