- What it does
- The objective is to develop decision-relevant data and analysis on the market viability and program readiness (including availability, technological feasibility, incremental benefits, regulatory treatment, and cost-effectiveness) of potential consensus specification requirements for incentive-eligible equipment, and support deployment and in-field efficiency of qualifying equipment as part of utility ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs. Recipient tasks include technical and market analysis to inform decisions on updating Energy Efficiency Product Performance Tiers, coordinate market transformation efforts to support the uptake and in-field performance of IRA Tax Credit-eligible residential equipment in the home retrofit market, and coordinate market transformation efforts to support the uptake and in-field performance of IRA Tax Credit-eligible residential equipment in targeted product-only programs and their controls in the “emergency†or “end of useful life" home equipment replacement market.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
