Eric Solrain, Princi <br />INTEGRAL <br />IHOF <br />All electric has several big advantages: <br />• Electric equipment takes up significantly less space and that space can <br />be used for other things. At 1700 Webster the gas option filled the roof <br />with equipment, while the heat pump option had much less equipment <br />so they were able to put a nice deck and pool on the roof. <br />• Getting gas service to the equipment, and a flue out through the <br />building can be challenging problems and cost money. Getting make- <br />up air to gas boilers can be challenging. <br />• For large multi -family projects heat -pump dryers avoid all the problems <br />associate with venting. <br />• There have been good advances in heat pump choices in recent years. <br />Aermec and Climacool make excellent equipment, that can heat and <br />cool simultaneously with robust controls. <br />• There are huge climate benefits to shifting from gas to electric. London <br />is completely redoing it's 10 year old decarbonization plan which was <br />drafted when they had a dirty electric grid. Their grid is much cleaner <br />now so they are quickly revising the plan to promote electrification. <br />7N <br />
