Selected as one of 33 projects in the U.S., the funding will be matched by Kohler investment to support the Electric Boiler & Microgrid project at its manufacturing site in Casa Grande, Arizona.

Since the program's launch earlier this year, the CDP has been the most applied-for ASHRAE certification, highlighting its importance and relevance in today's building and energy sectors.  

Air-to-water heat pumps are becoming popular in the hydronic heating industry due to their energy efficiency and sustainability. Chris Decato of U.S. Boiler Co. notes a rising demand driven by their cost-effectiveness and reduced carbon footprint.

Last month marked the second anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the most significant U.S. federal action on climate change. With over $369 billion allocated to energy and climate programs, the IRA has driven unprecedented growth in renewable energy, boosting solar, wind, and battery storage, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions and lowering energy costs.

Cala’s heat pump water heater will lower costs and carbon emissions from home water heating, which currently accounts for 19% of all home energy use and 3% of U.S. GHG emissions. Homeowners and those who install Cala HPWHs are set up to benefit from local, state, and federal support for heat pump water heaters, including 30% rebates through the Inflation Reduction Act.

The Pass Life community near Summit at Snoqualmie ski resort struggles to keep up with snow removal due to quick snow accumulation. Traditional methods like shoveling and snowblowing are insufficient.

The agreement outlines how ASHRAE and WFI will work cooperatively on common public affairs initiatives and leverage the strengths of both organizations to address critical challenges in the industry, while promoting innovative solutions that benefit the global community.
