We’ll explore the operational and financial impact of electrifying heating and cooling systems that leverage distributed generation systems (CHP, Solar, battery storage) to help offset large capital investments. We’ll focus on multifamily buildings constructed in the past 10 years in which various configurations of VRF and distributed generation were implemented, as well as retrofits of existing buildings. Upfront costs and yearly savings of these systems will be reviewed as will the impact of potential changes to electric and gas rates in the future. In addition, we will address potential regulatory changes that can alter cost and savings projections and guide future ECM priorities.
