Greetings to all of you!
Welcome to spring and the Market Research and Evaluation (MRE) team’s first newsletter of 2025! Here in the Northwest, the days aren’t necessarily sunnier, but they are definitely longer.
The MRE team is busy wrapping up several large and long-running studies, including three building code compliance studies (for the states of Idaho, Montana and Oregon) and the first Market Progress Evaluation Reports (MPERs) for two of NEEA’s Commercial HVAC programs. The latter launched nearly two years ago, so the team is looking forward to the conclusion of these inaugural studies.
Four other MPERs are also kicking off that will provide evaluation findings and actionable market insights to the programs they support, including: Retail Product Portfolio, Luminaire Level Lighting Controls, Heat Pump Water Heaters, and Commercial and Residential Codes. Read on to learn more and, as always, please reach out with any questions or suggestions.
