The draft Commercial Rooftop Units (CRTUs) Market Transformation Initiative (MTI) Plan describes the research and strategies to accelerate the adoption of high-performance heat pump rooftop units with advanced features. The CRTUs MTI Plan offers a significant, cost-effective opportunity to reduce commercial building energy consumption, increase HVAC system resilience, reduce winter peak demand, and unlock grid-supportive flexibility at scale. Over time, the initiative intends to transform the market and lock in energy savings, grid benefits, and greenhouse gas reductions to help meet California’s efficiency and decarbonization goals.
