Q2 2025 Market Research and Evaluation Newsletter

It’s starting to feel like summer here in Portland! The slightly slower pace of summer is a time when many of NEEA’s market research and evaluation studies are winding down. This newsletter highlights quite a few studies that will be finalized in the coming months, including market progress evaluations for the Luminaire Level Lighting Controls, High-Performance HVAC, and Efficient Rooftop Units programs. Two additional reports will be available soon that describe third party assessments of NEEA’s key modeling assumptions used to estimate energy savings associated with NEEA and our partners’ work in the market for building energy codes. 

It is also worth mentioning two interesting market research efforts that are underway. The Agricultural Pumps Market Research effort is exploring market barriers and other aspects of the regional market for agricultural irrigation pumps across the Northwest. Additionally, NEEA’s Commercial HVAC programs are conducting a market research effort to understand how the market for gas very high efficiency dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) compares with that of electric very high efficiency DOAS.

Lots on the horizon! Enjoy the newsletter and please reach out with any questions or suggestions.
