@jonasmeckling Cool research! From my experience in the foundation world, I think this comes down to:

cost * probability of success = likelihood of funding

So Florida, which is a very costly to engage on policy and with many entrenched interests gets lower foundation investments.

@zack_subin @OctaviSemonin @RMIBuildings @NYSERDA @AmarShah_DC @michaelhenchen Sorry Zack, been off twitter. Short answer is that it depends. There are some buildings that are very costly to retrofit to all-electric and cold climates (MN) where some hybrids make sense from total system cost perspective. But that isn't true in all buildings / places.

@zeynebmagavi @BloombergME @dk_seav @rewiringamerica @LawProfPayne @RabagoEnergy @EnergyandPolicy Likewise!

@BloombergME @dk_seav @zeynebmagavi @rewiringamerica @LawProfPayne @RabagoEnergy @EnergyandPolicy @panamaredhat They may have published more in the CA Phase II gas planning proceeding, but I'm not sure. Happy to connect. Probably easiest to reach out to me on my work e-mail. dan (at) https://t.co/KlVrn2r0gr

@BloombergME @dk_seav @zeynebmagavi @rewiringamerica @LawProfPayne @RabagoEnergy @EnergyandPolicy PG&E have also reported on some initial efforts they've undertaken: https://t.co/ZyLuA1RxDT

but I think the tl;dr is that we are in the very early days of figuring out how this will work.

@BloombergME @dk_seav @zeynebmagavi @rewiringamerica @LawProfPayne @RabagoEnergy @EnergyandPolicy We (E3) are, in partnership with Gridworks, East Bay Community Energy and PG&E. https://t.co/XaXXXXLjgM

The California Energy Commission also recently awarded DNV GL with a contract to build a public tool on this question for CA.

@bgerhardstein Bonus question, what’s the best way to cross Carlson at the point where the Richmond Greenway … takes a break?

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@curious_founder Great. And hmm... good question. The easiest would be to send it via their "[email protected]", though that probably has a lower probability of response than if you had a direct contact there. I unfortunately do not have such contacts, though someone on here must.

@JesseJenkins @leahstokes The state of Massachusetts has an excel file with costs for 15k+ installations of similar part load projects. I expect your quote falls within normal ranges there, particularly adjusting for inflation. https://t.co/jlXZiCcb3T

@tyler_bryant Consumer adoption, hands down. Millions of individual decisions subject to consumer decisions OR mandates subject to political limits/backlash.

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@DrChrisClack Feel your pain on that one. We started our project in August. Guy still hasn’t closed the permit

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@gnievchenko @W_J_Henry Could be worse than the US. For instance, in the UK you have to be ready for kg, Miles and whatever a “stone” is

@RoseTweetEnergy Monty Python explored issues related to converting cookers to natural gas https://t.co/XKpeQZz9Yy

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@TaplinTerry Virtually every east-west crossing of San Pablo and Sacramento streets south of University.

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@prinzrob Not sure if this is on the list for 2022, but a safe route to cross to cross Sacramento in South Berkeley would sure be nice

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@RichardMeyerDC @kevinkircher @JesseJenkins @RaviMikkelsen One could look at the systems incentivized by the MA Clean Energy Center. There are something like 15k systems listed. Not sure they list an HSPF, but with a little data wrangling the model numbers could be merged with the NEEP ccASHP specification to impute them

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@VladGutman There are a LOT of lawyers in private practice who work on the deals that get projects built. Definitely room for good and necessary work in private practice.

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@FlowerFishFrog1 @WarrenJWells @menorman Pretty much the same. There is a nice route that doesn’t go on the arterials for the trip shown above

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@JesseJenkins @kevinkircher @dhariksm You might find this helpful https://t.co/diIZ9t2lg7

[Dan Aas @oxpo18]

@JesseJenkins @kevinkircher @dhariksm Yeah, we and others use NHTS trip data to simulate charging patterns, accounting for home, public and workplace charging. The load shape ends up looking much flatter once the diversity of trip behavior and charging session type
