The Resource Efficient Electrification (REE) method of building decarbonization incorporates strategic capital planning, an integrated design process, and an incremental, network-oriented approach to deliver building heating, cooling, and ventilation which:

  • requires limited or no combustion,
  • enables carbon neutrality,
  • is highly efficient at low design temperatures and during extreme weather,
  • is highly resilient, demand conscious, and energy grid-interactive,
  • reduces thermal waste by capturing as many on-site or nearby thermal flows as possible, and
  • incorporates realistic and flexible implementation strategies by optimizing and scheduling low carbon retrofits phase-in.

The figure below illustrates a conceptual framework for accomplishing these objectives and overcoming the mental traps described in a previous page. Specific measures and sequencing will be highly bespoke for a given building, but engineers and their owner clients can use this bucketed “RRRR/R” framework to place actionable projects in context of an overarching decarbonization roadmap:

  • Store heat where necessary.
  • Eliminate "economizer" waste. Rejecting heat is wasting energy.
  • Identify simultaneous or correlated heating & cooling opportunities within daily load profiles to create a thermal network
  • include other creative and opportunistic heat sources such as steam condensate return, ventilation exhaust, or data centers
