The Advanced Water Heating Initiative (AWHI) launches in California, Washington, and Oregon with the aim to scale heat pump water heater (HPWH) installations by shaping policies, building demand, bringing products to market, and educating the supply chain. Since its West Coast launch, AWHI has become a national initiative that aims to make HPWHs universal in every home and business. AWHI is a member-funded collaborative of building owners, utilities, federal agencies, state and local governments, manufacturers, engineers, installers, advocates, researchers, and building industry professionals from across the U.S.
