Join NEEP on October 6-7 for a day and a half interactive workshop pulling together a broad range of stakeholders to explore the most up-to-date lessons being learned from across the region when it comes to the residential Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) market.  Day 1 will be the main structured workshop with expert panelists, small group discussions, and close with an educational “field trip”. Day 2 will be optional and largely comprised of informal breakout meeting opportunities for stakeholders to sit down with other colleagues and market actors to discuss more detailed issues.  Program administrators, industry actors, policymakers, technology experts and evaluators will gather to discuss a number of important issues related to the expanded use of ASHPs.
