Which type of households save by switching to heat pumps?

[jpvelez]

What

We need to understand which types of households save by switching to heat pumps.

Why

We regularly get asked this question by audiences.

How

• Understand the building science fundamentals to hypotheses two related but distinct questions:
  • What would cause a household to save or lose when they switch?
  • What determines the magnitude of whether they save or switch?
• Analyze resstock data to test those hypotheses (and to sanity check resstock itself)
• We may also need to discuss the topic with experts

Deliverables

• Quarto notebook that walks through relevant building science fundamentals, developing intuition for those two questions, and writing down our hypotheses
• Quarto notebook that analyses resstock data to test those hypotheses (and sanity check resstock itselt)
