HB 3409 directed ODOE to produce a biennial legislative report that evaluates the adoption of heat pump technologies among residents of the state and provides a timeline of the State’s progress in achieving its greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals.
Energy efficient heat pumps help address energy use and climate change in Oregon's built environment. Oregon has a goal to add at least 500,000 heat pumps in buildings by 2030.
Pursuant to the requirements laid out in HB3409, ODOE's report involves the following:
- Data collection and analysis of heat pump technologies among residents of the state, including the rate of adoption, available technologies and their applications, and future applications.
- Consultation and analysis of the state of the heat pump industry, identifying financial and non-financial barriers to heat pump option among residents.
- Development of an assessment of the State's progression in achieving its goal of 500,000 heat pumps by 2030, and estimate of the date that goal will be achieved.
- Submission of a final report to the Legislature that summarizes the final analysis and key findings from the data analysis and industry consultation, as well as opportunities to improve future heat pump data reporting efforts.
