Report/Case Study
To measure and claim savings tied to BPS policies, utilities need to develop attribution frameworks outlining actions they can take to support BPS policy adoption and compliance in their region. More
Report/Case Study
The Connecticut Green Bank (Green Bank) implemented the Residential Solar Investment
Program (RSIP) from 2012 until the program achieved its statutory objective of facilitating the
deployment of 350 MW-DC of residential solar generating capacity in Connecticut in 2022. This
evaluation assesses RSIP's effectiveness in using ratepayer funds (as program incentives paid
to residential customers) to accelerate residential solar adoption and offers recommendations More

Slipstream conducted a feasibility study to help the City of Altoona plan for a microgrid to ensure energy security, enable climate adaptation, and provide long-term economic benefits to residents. More
Report/Case Study
We conducted research on residential heating and cooling systems in Minnesota homes to help improve installation and maintenance practices for furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps. More
Presentation
Slipstream conducted a large-scale field study of Minnesota’s manufactured homes to identify energy savings potential and help inform energy efficiency programs that will save residents money.
This slide deck is from a webinar delivered in October 2016. Read the final report here.

Presentation
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) spends $3.3 billion on energy each year, 15% of which is for lighting. Typical retrofits are LED-only, leaving additional savings (up to 70%) from advanced lighting controls stranded.
There is a huge knowledge gap in advanced lighting controls within DoD.
This project informs DoD managers, designers, and operators about advanced controls concepts, the principles of operations, and general cost-effectiveness of the most common control strategies.

A relatively new class of heat pump equipment could prove to be a good fit for manufactured homes and save more than half the energy usage of electric resistance heating. More
Report/Case Study
In 2019, Wisconsin became the first state in the Midwest to commit to being 100% carbon free by 2050. To decarbonize its grid faster and mitigate climate impacts, the state needs to accelerate the adoption of air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) to electrify residential buildings. To better understand the barriers in the way of widespread ASHP adoption, we conducted analysis on Wisconsin's residential building landscape, engaged market actors, and conducted a stakeholder needs assessment.
