NYSERDAHeat Pumps

Community Heat Pump Systems (PON 4614)

Offers funding for scoping and design studies, construction, and guides for community-style heat pump system configuration. The heating water could be centrally-produced as hot water via electric-driven heat pumps and used in the buildings via radiators for hydronic heating, or could be ambient-temperature water serving as a thermal source enabling electric-driven heat pumps located in each building. The heating water could also be used for production of domestic hot water, and a chilled water piping network could also be included to serve the comfort space cooling needs of the cluster of buildings. Multiple rounds for application: (Round 5); 06/13/2022 (Round 6); 08/16/2022 (Round 7); 11/15/2022 (Round 8); 02/08/2023 (Round 9); 05/10/2023 (Round 10); 08/09/2023 (Round 11); 11/15/2023 (Round 12)
