MARKET CHARACTERIZATION. The goal of this subtask is to assess California's new construction and retrofit markets to determine the current and future market potential for high performance windows (including thin- glass triple-pane). The Recipient shall: • Update the strategy outlined in 2018 ACEEE Summer Study paper by Berkeley Lab to reflect the advancements in thin-triple IGU technology and changes in market conditions. • Identify market barriers, opportunities and long-term market cost of these technologies through engagement with leading window manufacturers, home builders, retrofitters, and with market pull partners such as building codes, utility rebate/incentive programs; builders targeting net zero and Passive House designs, and ENERGY STAR. • Conduct stakeholder surveys as necessary. • Conduct a market size estimate for residential building sector window retrofit opportunity • Define existing condition baselines for residential fenestration • Estimate current and forecasted market penetration • Characterize ability to deploy triple-pane windows in the retrofit market • Develop a Market Characterization and Residential Applications in California report summarizing the findings of the above sub-tasks. Products: • Market Characterization and Residential Applications in California Report (draft and final)
MARKET CHARACTERIZATION. The goal of this task is to estimate the potential for market penetration and costs (including labor and materials) of load flexibility controls for heat pumps. The Recipient shall: • Collect data on current and projected future rate structures (e.g. time of use rates) for market rate and low-income residential customers in IOU territories. • Describe utility and grid operator goals and objectives for residential heat pump load flexibility controls, including magnitude of adoption required to achieve load shifting targets, and utility strategies to promote load shifting to residential customers (e.g. time of use rates, real-time price signals, demand response). • Estimate current and forecasted market penetration of heat pumps (both water heating and space conditioning) in new construction and retrofit residential housing. • Characterize typical installation locations, including whether the heat source is indoor or outdoor air. • Characterize ability to deploy load flexibility controls (current capabilities and feasibility and cost of retrofitting improved controls) among water heating and space conditioning heat pumps from a variety of manufacturers.
