BC Heat Pump Technology Attraction Strategy

FRESCo was one of the consulting teams to develop this strategy.

The BC Heat Pump Technology Attraction Strategy is a collaborative effort of B2E and the Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC). The Strategy:

• Identifies high-level availability and gaps for various heat pump technologies in BC;
• Identifies and prioritizes barriers related to heat pump market penetration and sophistication;
• Lays out three areas of action to address these barriers, including:
  • Improving the perception of BC’s market size and sophistication with domestic and foreign manufacturers
  • Supporting workforce development (in alignment with existing B2E activities);
  • Exploring and addressing certification and standards-related barriers for low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and cold climate heat pumps.
