Kevin – 

I think we just need a parenthetical that says something like “HVAC (including traditional forced-air 

systems and heat pumps) .... “. Perhaps that would make it clear? 

thanx!

How about something like HVAC (including heat pumps) - hopefully someone better than me at 

english could write this and avoid the double parenthetical.

A heat pump is a "heating ventilation and A/C (HVAC) system."

Was this missed in the new Ch 5 TSD draft you just sent or did EPA not want to make the edit? 

 

Opportunities for cost-effective EE in commercial buildings include optimization of heating, 

ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and heat pump [A1] systems, upgrades of windows, and use of 

more efficient office equipment at replacement. In the industrial sector key EE strategies include 

motor upgrades and maintenance programs, recovery of waste heat streams, and optimization of 

processes through modern instrumentation and controls systems 

[A1] Suggesting this as a means to clarify if, indeed, heat pumps are considered EE, as these would 

indeed be a substantial EE contribution for both residential and business use.
