When the Biden administration announced a host of energy- and buildings-related initiatives on May 17, one component was the Energy, Emissions and Equity (E3) Initiative. One of its elements is specifically designed for HVAC contractors: the Residential HVAC Smart Diagnostic Tools Campaign.
The program, sponsored by the DOE and implemented by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), aims to accelerate the adoption of such tools, allowing contractors to install and troubleshoot more quickly and at less expense to themselves and homeowners.
