Beneficial Electrification in Northern Climates

Beneficial Electrification has emerged as a driving force in decarbonizing our built environment and is a priority area for USGBC. Some of the newest builds are being designed without option to use fossil fuels, but what does this mean for our building stock, our grid, and our northern climates. This pragmatic discussion explores the near-term hurdles and the solutions coming to the market. The panelists discuss the ways in which LEED credits for LEED v4.1 BD+C and O+M support project electrification goals and how those goals support LEED certification. Real world projects, practices, research, and resources guide this education session.
