2019 Greenhouse Gas Taskforce
In 2019, Efficiency Vermont established a Greenhouse Gas Taskforce to assess new and innovative greenhouse gas reduction strategies related to energy efficiency with the potential to influence manufacturing and supply chain processes for efficient products, and Vermont-business and building-level greenhouse gas footprint calculations and incentive programs. The report was updated in March 2021 and in December 2021. Six research and development projects were identified and conducted:
- Targeting of heating fuels
- Home heating in an average house
- Lifecycle analysis of advanced wood heating vs. oil
- Residential construction materials
- Natural refrigerants in commercial applications
- Refrigeration liners
