• Advancing the market for ENERGY STAR certified lighting, appliances, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), as well as appliance recycling, through its ENERGY STAR Products Programs. In 2015, Delmarva significantly enhanced its program offerings by adding ENERGY STAR clothes dryers, and ENERGY STAR two-speed and variable speed pool pumps to its portfolio; launching web-based rebate application platforms for customers and contractors, and added contractor-facing trainings and other offerings to effectively promote ENERGY STAR products both through the contractor channel and at retail. As of the third quarter of 2015, these programs together delivered almost 2.2 million megawatt hour savings.
• Collaborating with other Maryland utilities and industry stakeholders to advance the EmPower Maryland Home Performance with ENERGY STAR (HPwES) program. In 2015, Delmarva successfully added Energy Coaches to its offerings. The Energy Coach serves as a third-party unbiased resource available to help HPwES customers navigate the home improvement process.
