Proposed Session Description
Most of our existing buildings are already constructed (duh) with fossil fuels as the heat source. BEC will demonstrate the successes of retrofitting high performance electrification, through real projects in various phases from design to completion. BEC will also demonstrate the pitfalls of a few projects that had the opportunity for electrification and opted for replacement in kind. BEC will present the lessons learned on projects.
Learning Objectives
Develop plans to position a building for electrification through lifecycle replacements.
Understand that operational heartaches cost more than energy
Advocate for non-energy benefits and risk management
Understand that the system as a whole needs to be evaluated for cost comparisons and life cycles.
