Q3 2025 Emerging Technology Newsletter
The Q3 2025 Emerging Technology Newsletter showcases a range of impactful work led by NEEA’s emerging technology and product management team. Some key activities include:
- Launching a new project focused on investigating small (less than 120 gallon) heat pump water heaters for commercial applications.
- Completing a number of projects, including studies on residential laundry systems, monitors and commercial displays, commercial heat pump dryers, and variable speed heat pump test methods.
- Wrapping up an incremental cost analysis for variable speed heat pumps, an evaluation of residential dual-fuel HVAC product options, and a tri-mode heat pump study covering water heating, space heating, and air conditioning.
- Conducting field studies on:
- A gas-fired absorption heat pump in a multifamily building
- Energy savings from power drive systems, and;
- Exploring how line voltage thermostats can help with load flexibility.
Future newsletters will include links to the reports and activities above as they become available on neea.org.
