The CRTUs MTI seeks to accelerate adoption of advanced heat pump RTUs with innovative features that optimize efficiency and performance but are not currently widely available – unlocking new pathways to cost-effective
decarbonization in the commercial sector.
The Commercial Replacement and Attachment Window Solutions (CRAWS) MTI Plan aims to increase market share of affordable alternatives to full window replacements through retrofit technologies that improve envelope performance, save energy, and deliver comfort to occupants. The CRAWS MTI supports an “envelope-first” approach that helps building owners maximize the efficiency
The Commercial Buildings Efficiency Accelerator fact sheet describes the opportunity, technology, market transformation strategy and equity considerations for this initiative. Commercial buildings are responsible for 35% of the electricity and 18% of the total energy consumed in the U.S., and the most energy-intensive commercial buildings in California consume between 65%-183%
The Induction Cooking MTI seeks to accelerate the market adoption of induction cooktops and ranges to provide a high-quality cooking experience and a more efficient technology than traditional electric resistance and gas stoves. The initiative also aims to reduce GHG emissions and provide enhanced health, safety, and other non-energy benefits
The Room Heat Pumps MTI will accelerate market adoption of this technology, which provides both heating and cooling for small single-family and multifamily households. Room heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling, performing the same functions as room heaters or window/room air conditioners, and can be self-installed in standard wall
The Commercial Replacement and Attachment Window Solutions fact sheet describes the opportunity, technology, market transformation strategy and equity considerations for this initiative. Window upgrades in existing buildings offer a significant opportunity to improve building envelope thermal performance, reduce heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) loads, and enable downsizing of HVAC
The Residential Heat Pump Water Heating fact sheet describes the opportunity, technology, market transformation strategy and equity considerations for this initiative. Residential heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) are two to three times more efficient than conventional gas and electric resistance water heating options. While HPWHs have been available as energy-efficient
The California Market Transformation Administrator (CalMTA) develops and manages market transformation initiatives in the state to reduce energy use and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
CalMTA follows a rigorous process for reviewing, scoring, and then developing relevant, timely market transformation initiatives. The process supports market transformation initiative creation from concept to program development to market deployment, as well as the eventual exiting of the market.
Learn more about CalMTA’s planning and research on energy efficient technologies and our work to build California’s market transformation portfolio, and access quarterly and annual progress reports.
