Through Wall Heat Pump Demonstration Program

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is accepting applications from multifamily building owners, managers, or operators for their buildings to become Qualified Demonstration Sites for the Clean Heat for All: Packaged Terminal Heat Pump Program. The program aims to qualify multifamily buildings of at least 5 apartment units located in New York State, with existing through-wall openings suitable for Packaged Terminal Heat Pump (PTHP) installation. The selected sites will host a demonstration project with a manufacturer awarded under PON 5907 by the 2026 Heating Season. Key requirements for the demonstration sites include: • Multifamily or Mixed-Use buildings in New York State with 5 or more permanently occupied dwelling units • Through-wall openings suitable for PTHP installation • Availability for field demonstration projects to begin no later than Winter (December) 2026 • Compliance with dimension constraints defined in either Category 1, 2, or 3 of PON 5907 • For dwellings that meet NYSERDA’s definition of Affordable Housing, the implementation of a PTHP demonstration will not result in the shifting of heating costs from landlord to tenant
