Renewable Thermal Alliance Webinar: Calculating Cost and Carbon Savings of Clean Heating & Cooling Technologies

The Clean Energy States Alliance has been working on a regional multi-state Clean Heating & Cooling (CH&C) Calculator for several years. This calculator provides a common, regional platform to estimate the cost savings and greenhouse gas emissions reductions of switching to clean heating and cooling technologies. The first version of this tool targets homeowners and is designed to be user-friendly, simple, yet accurate. The second phase of the work improves the previous framework and develops an installer version with more complex and detailed questions.

In this webinar, CESA Project Director Val Stori walked through the tool, explaining the methodology, tool inputs, and results. The Connecticut tool and the Rhode Island tool will be available soon and free to access. The Massachusetts and New York tools will be released in 2022.

This webinar was hosted by the Yale Center for Business and the Environment on behalf of the Renewable Thermal Alliance.
