Efficient electrification toolkit
The Efficient Electrification Toolkit is designed to help organizations make informed decisions about electrifying building heating based on their specific building configuration, energy needs and objectives.
This information, learning resources and technical tools to help organizations across Ontario address the carbon-reduction goals for their buildings in an energy efficient and cost-effective manner.
1. Identify building needs and set objectives
Understand the energy needs of your building, including its electrical service capacity, HVAC system configuration and available space to establish informed and realistic objectives. This is key to achieving your goals!
