Strategic Building Electrification

Strategic building electrification is the thoughtful shift of space and water heating from fuel-burning technologies such as gas-fired furnaces to electrically powered technologies such as heat pumps at opportune times that make economic and business sense.
Electrified heating technologies have come a long way in the past 20 years. Cold climate air-source heat pumps and ground-source heat pump technologies available on the market today can provide comfortable space heating down to sub-zero (Fahrenheit) outdoor air temperatures, and electric heat pump water heaters now available from most major manufacturers deliver cost-effective water heating with energy consumption as little as 1/3 that of their traditional gas-fired counterparts.
Strategic electrification of our buildings' space and water heating needs is a critical step towards decarbonizing the built environment. If you or your organization have sustainability goals or benchmarks to meet, strategic building electrification deserves some attention as a viable path towards meeting or even exceeding such goals.

To get started with strategic electrification of your building:
- Have aging gas-fired rooftop units, water heaters, boilers, or unit heaters.
- Contact Us to learn more about your options. We can calculate your energy and cost savings, recommend new designs and specific equipment, and guide you through the caveats.
- Leave the implementation and project management to BEE. We will contract, schedule, and commission the installation work.
- Enjoy the proven health, economic, and work productivity benefits of electrification.
- Recognize and share that you are a leader in the shift towards a healthier and more sustainable built environment.
