Today, building decarbonization is getting a lot of press. While the grid is steadily transitioning from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy—thanks to dramatically cheaper renewables—the spotlight now needs to shift. What is the role buildings can play in supporting city and state climate action plans, policies, and the need for flexible loads on the grid? On November 18 at noon CST, Amruta Khanolkar of the New Buildings Institute (NBI) will discuss the role hydronic systems can play to decarbonize space and water heating end use in the built environment.
The webinar will include:
- An overview of the New Buildings Institute
- Ongoing energy efficiency and decarbonization market transformation efforts
- Emerging heat pump water heater technologies for residential and commercial market sectors
- Radiant heating-cooling system findings in zero-energy buildings
- Case studies highlighting the technologies
