HEW2023: All Systems Go
Heating electrification is at a pivotal moment marked by historic tailwinds. With mature technologies at hand, it's time for the market to address non-technical barriers like installer training and consumer awareness to support scaled up deployment. Join us at HEW2023, to explore strategies for electrifying heating, cooling, and water heating that leverage new investments and new technologies. Collaboratively, we will dig into topics including contractor insights, designing and implementing heat pump programs for underserved customers, and new heat pump categories that provide additional solutions to various sectors.
This year we are kicking off HEW2023 at the Hotel Marcel with a Day Zero Welcome Reception followed by an optional networking opportunity to dine-out at local, New Haven restaurants with small groups of conference attendees including NEEP staffers. Day One workshop sessions will explore topics important to navigating this evolving market including technology advancements, contractor barriers and opportunities, and equitable policies and programs.
Book your room at the amazing passive house Hotel Marcel and get registered for HEW2023 today.

How will new offerings and resources be integrated into existing low-to-moderate income programs? How will states, programs, and communities deliver a suite of offerings into a streamlined model that maximizes engagement? This session will explore these questions with key stakeholders working to ensure programs include LMI communities both in the planning and implementation to maximize their impact. Facilitator

| 1:45 p.m. | Session Three Over the past few decades, the HVAC and water heating industries have made large strides towards single-family residential electrification. Many solutions are reliable, efficient, and have gained traction in the market. What about other sectors? With emissions from larger buildings expected to increase in the coming years, it is imperative to scale solutions specific to non-single family residential buildings. This session will discuss solutions and innovations for commercial and multifamily heating electrification and methods to scale those solutions. Facilitator
