Carrier to develop heat pumps with U.S. Department of Energy

Carrier desarrollará bombas de calor con el Departamento de Energía de Estados Unidos

United States. Carrier announced its partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop heat pump technologies that result in commercial rooftop units with higher efficiency and lower living costs for end users.

According to the Department of Energy, these heat pump rooftop units (RTUs) are estimated to reduce emissions and energy costs by up to 50%, compared to conventional models that burn natural gas. The Better Buildings initiative will work with commercial building owners, operators, and manufacturers to accelerate the development and adoption of heat pump-packaged RTUs in all U.S. climates.

The new light commercial products developed by Carrier engineers will help customers, including major retailers and other businesses, meet decarbonization goals and increase energy efficiency. Carrier is also participating in the Department of Energy's Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge for residential applications and will commercialize advanced technology units available later in 2024.

"Carrier's innovation in HVAC began when Willis Carrier launched the industry more than a century ago," said Heidi Gehring, general manager, Light Commercial at Carrier. "We are proud to continue to lead the industry as we work to bring more efficient and affordable next-generation lightweight commercial heat pumps to market starting in 2027."

According to the Department of Energy, the United States spends about $800 billion each year to power buildings, manufacturing facilities, and homes, and on average, 20% to 30% of the country's energy is wasted. Initiatives like Better Buildings pursue ambitious goals to reduce that waste by improving design, equipment, and operations.

"Carrier is demonstrating a commitment to leadership and collaboration," said Maria Vargas, director of DOE's Better Buildings Initiative. "We are thrilled to be working together on this important initiative to drive greater energy efficiency and decarbonization in our nation's buildings."
