The Green Upgrade Calculator: A New Economic Modeling Tool for Home Decarbonization
This session will present RMI’s new freely available economic modeling software for different home decarbonization technologies (e.g., rooftop solar, battery storage, weatherization, air-source heat pumps, heat pump water heaters), demonstrate how different types of energy professionals can leverage it (e.g., estimating bill impacts of whole home versus hybrid air-source heat pumps), and visualize results for different retrofit types across the northeast (e.g., percent of homes that can cost-effectively electrify).

Learning Objectives:
- Identify which home decarbonization retrofit types are generally most cost-effective in their region.
- Analyze the economic impacts of the most common home decarbonization technologies for a specific home and utility tariff using the software.
- Analyze the emissions impacts of the most common home decarbonization technologies for a specific home using the software.
- Leverage the software to identify the most cost-effective home decarbonization solution set for a specific home.
