What’s in it for me? • Warmth • 2-2.4 million tons of CO2 reductions from domestic solar hot water heating in the Northeast (space heating not included!) • Freeing up multi-use, processed fuels for other uses • How do I start? • Regionwide final energy analysis • Final energy targets • Integrated renewable heating and cooling roadmap • Basic incentives • Where do I go from there? • Renewable heat RPS (e.g. Arizona, New Hampshire, Australia) • Construction mandates (e.g. Spain, Germany, Hawaii) • Big time incentives (Germany: $500 million annually in grants) • District heating and renewable CHP
