Energy Efficiency
As modern consumers, we can realize a variety of economic and environmental benefits by considering energy conservation. Fortunately, saving energy does not have to mean sacrificing comfort or convenience. Explore these options to learn how you can improve your building's energy efficiency.
What is Beneficial Electrification?
The application of electricity to end-uses that would otherwise consume fossil fuels, where doing so satisfies at least one of following conditions, without adversely affecting the others:
- save consumers money
- improve product quality, or consumer quality of life
- reduce [GHG] emissions
- foster a more resilient grid

Some examples would be heating your home with an electric heat pump rather than by burning natural gas; or replacing gas-engine powered tools like leaf blowers or weed whackers with electric versions; or traveling in an electric vehicle instead of a gasoline-burning one.
