US Goals and Objectives
Decarbonize the US power sector by 20351
Establish a 2030 net-zero emissions standard for new commercial buildings. The ultimate goal is to reduce the
carbon footprint of the nation's buildings by 50% by 2035 and reaching net-zero emissions economy-wide by 2050.
• Modernize and upgrade buildings to be affordable, resilient, accessible, energy efficient, and electrified.

DOE has launched the Initiative for Better Energy, Emissions, and Equity (E3 Initiative), focused on advancing the
research, development, and national deployment of innovating clean and efficient building heating and cooling
systems, putting $10M toward accelerating the research and adoption of heat pump technologies through:
-
-
Nationwide Advanced Water Heating Deployment Initiative to increase market adoption of high-efficiency, grid-
connected Heat Pump Water Heaters in residential and commercial buildings,
Cold Climate Heat Pump Technology Challenge to accelerate performance of cold climate heat pump
technologies,
New collaborative research, development and deployment (RD&D) efforts partnering National Laboratories
and manufacturers to accelerate the development of low to no-GWP refrigerants.
New ENERGY STAR standards have been finalized for central AC/HP and residential water heater to advance heat
pump technology.3
