2025 - 2027
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
Central heat pump water heater (CHPWH) systems are playing a pivotal role in the decarbonization of multifamily and commercial buildings. These systems can provide electrified, efficient hot water for both new and existing buildings while minimizing grid impact and energy costs with load shifting...

End-use Water Heating/DHW/HPWH
Project Number ET25SWE0026
2025 - 2025
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
This project will assess the market opportunity and technology performance of new split heat pump water heater (HPWH) designs for direct replacement of inefficient gas (including natural gas and propane) and electric water heaters located in constrained spaces in California multifamily buildings....
Sector Agricultural
End-use Process Loads
Project Number ET25SWE0019
2025 - 2025
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
This project involves a market study for the agricultural sector adoption of PEI-rated pumps in California. California agriculture irrigates more than 9 million acres using roughly 34 million acre-feet (MAF) of water typically diverted from surface waters or pumped from groundwater and consumes 8.8...

End-use Water Heating/DHW/HPWH
Project Number ET25SWE0017
2025 - 2026
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
CHPWH systems in multifamily and commercial buildings serve two purposes: heating city water entering the building to usable hot water temperatures for occupants and maintaining the water temperature in the distribution and recirculation system. Temperature maintenance typically makes up about 30%...

End-use HVAC
Project Number ET25SWE0015
2025 - 2026
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
HVAC Contractors working on energy efficiency and building electrification projects face technical and regulatory challenges. To support them, various organizations—including for-profits, non-profits, manufacturers, and state agencies—have developed software-based tools. These tools assist with...

End-use HVAC
Project Number ET25SWE0014
2025 - 2026
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
This project strives to collect comprehensive laboratory test data on the heating, cooling, dehumidification, and native controls performance of Micro Heat Pumps (MHP), that are of interest to California’s consumers. This effort will build on the data collected under CalNEXT Project ET23SWE0034 -...

End-use HVAC
Project Number ET25SWE0012
2025 - 2026
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
This project demonstrates the energy-saving benefits of phase change material (PCM) in drop ceilings to reduce cooling energy in California schools, where HVAC systems account for 50% of energy use (Energy Information Administration, 2018). Cooling dominates HVAC loads in warm classrooms due to...
