Instead of needing to build in resilience for both fossil fuels (natural gas, propane, fuel oil, etc.) and electricity to keep your building systems running, an efficient all-electric design only requires resilience for one energy supply.
Building electrification — the removal of fossil fuel combustion equipment from existing buildings — is considered widely to be a critical strategy toward achieving a clean energy economy.
Increasing district heating to cover 50% of the total heat demand, together with a 40-GW heat pump capacity, can address up to 15% of total heat demand.
