Electrification has been identified as a key to reducing carbon emissions by eliminating fossil fuels, and heat pumps are a cornerstone of this electrification. However, available heat pump technologies do not meet all our needs – there are significant market gaps that call for innovative solutions.

This EPIC Buildings webinar featured three leaders in the application of heat pumps: Nicole Ceci, Principal Mechanical Engineer at Steven Winter Associates; Jordan Dentz, VP of NY Operations at MaGrann Associates; and Evan Hallas, Senior Energy Analyst at Taitem Engineering. The work of these panelists offers unique insights into where new heat pump products, as well as supporting technologies, are still needed. By identifying new product needs, we hope that New York innovators will bring their creativity to fill these important gaps.

Recorded on January 30th, 2024.
