Paper
The U.S. building industry is not on track to decarbonize fast enough to avoid dangerous levels of climate change. This paper describes five typologies that deserve strong consideration for action on near-term electrification of heating in the Midwest. More

Read our field study of 9 residential heat pump water heaters installed in partially conditioned basements in Michigan’s cold climate. Presented at the ACEEE 2022 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings. More
Report/Case Study
Slipstream recently completed feasibility studies on existing sites in two Wisconsin cities, Madison and Sun Prairie. Each city had its own reasons for exploring how a microgrid might help it meet its climate and resiliency goals. More

Report/Case Study
In a field study for Michigan Electric Cooperative Association (MECA), we monitored VRF systems at two hotels—both located in Michigan's notoriously frigid climate. At each site, we collected data on energy usage, space temperatures, and VRF supply temperatures for at least 12 months to ensure that we captured seasonal performance.

Report/Case Study
Slipstream recently conducted a robust monitoring study on heat pump water heaters for MECA, in which we studied the latest generation of HPWHs in the cold climate of the upper Midwest. The project included a field study of HPWH performance in nine homes in rural or village settings.

Report/Case Study
This report supports a DOE Advanced Building Construction project focused on improving the energy efficiency of new manufactured homes through innovations related to space heating and cooling. More
Report/Case Study
This project identified 13 innovations for the HVAC systems installed in new manufactured homes and recommends four innovations for innovation testing. Innovations in HVAC systems could improve energy efficiency, durability, and indoor air quality to the benefit of manufactured home residents and the industry. More
