Electrification of space heating and domestic water heating is a significant strategy for building decarbonization, second in effectiveness only to energy efficiency. In New York, successful reduction of carbon emissions through electrification requires the use of heat pump technologies that achieve annual coefficients of performance of at least 2.0, eliminating electric resistance as a component of electrification. Strategies for achieving this goal include high performance heat pumps, thermal storage and heat recovery, both active and passive. This seminar presents case studies of electrification strategies to achieve decarbonization for several building types, and for both new and retrofit projects.
