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 outlets without a panel or service upgrade.
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
