Tacoma Power Heating Study

Tacoma Power’s Ductless Heat Pump Study at a local Habitat for Humanity community is the first known study in the nation to help identify and validate energy savings. The study looks at performance and economic impacts of ductless heat pump (DHP) displacement heating in residential new construction. Findings from the study will help determine if the electric industry should pursue code changes that would require installation of DHPs in new homes receiving either electric baseboard or wall heating systems.
