Urban League Heat Pump Accelerator Project

Technical support for the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts (ULEM) and the Heat Smart Alliance ([HSA]) to canvass owners of properties in Boston likely to benefit from heat-pump retrofits, tax credits, and installation support. Code for Boston's work includes 5 streams:

  • data-analysis identifying properties likely to benefit from heat pumps
  • backend building a database of such properties
  • frontend developing an app to allow canvassers to view property information
  • partnerships contacting organizations that could apply this approach to their local area
  • marketing sharing project work + outcomes
