Ductless heat pumps represent one of the fastest-growing electrification segments, but unlocking their value as grid resources requires rethinking traditional demand response approaches. Unlike central systems, each mini-split offers smaller, distributed load—often just a fraction of a kilowatt—while also relying on proprietary, inverter-driven controls that limit integration with conventional thermostats. These systems don’t behave well…

Big Ladder software and the NEEA Advanced Heat pump team leveraged the NEEP data base and regional field studies to model and calibrate energy savings rates in the NW for advanced heat pump improvements including cold climate capable, low load efficient, and minimizing supplemental heat. This session will share out the methodology and results of…
