How building managers can take a piece meal approach to mechanical changeouts
The high expense of decarbonizing mechanical rooms can be lessoned, says Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar
As building managers make the switch from gas systems to more sustainable options across the country, Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar, says buildings have varying approaches that require a balancing act between two goals: staying in budget and meeting decarbonization goals.
Rettig says building managers are often asking contractors for three different bids: One all gas, another with electrical and resistive systems, and then option C: heat pumps.
