Building Electrification

Fully electric buildings come in all shapes and sizes.

Taking your facility from “piped in” to “plugged in” improves the health and safety of your workers, and can drastically lower operating costs.

The case for electrified buildings is getting stronger every day.

Burning fossil fuels in our buildings leads to poor indoor air quality and rare-but deadly- explosions. Fossil fuels also come with significant environmental and social costs, which are an increasing liability in today's business world.

Starting with a tight building envelope is an important first step to get your building "heat pump ready," and brings added cost savings, comfort, and energy savings. Some facilities even measure their "negawatts," because they cheapest, cleanest energy is the energy you don't use!

Heat pumps are extremely efficient and inexpensive to operate because they move heat energy (from the ground or air) rather than creating it. They do not create indoor air pollution, they provide heating and cooling, and can be sized to fit any building's needs.

Your organization's financial future depends on a successful transition to clean energy. As state and federal governments move toward putting a fee on carbon emissions, fossil fuel prices can be expected to increase, but incentives are available now to help you avoid rising energy costs in the future.

Recharge our community with electrified buildings

Buildings powered by clean electricity are the future for new builds and renovations, and now is the time to prepare for success. Make decisions today that give you a positive return on your investment — and that you’ll be proud of for decades to come. Protect your organization from the volatility of fossil fuel pricing and the likelihood of a carbon tax. Think of it as carbon tax insurance.

We can connect you with the resources to start and support your transition — including consultants who can build you a tailored blueprint, and money to help make it happen.
